Shelley H. General Ouch! That has got to hurt. Don't think the people in the cab made it through that one. What railroad was that? Good Shot though!:) 4/10/2008 11:39:13 PM
Ron Moraca General Yikes!!!!! Did the crew survive?? I wonder what that bi-level dinky looked like!!?? 4/9/2009 1:02:14 AM
Taylor Rich General No one was hurt. The unit was unattended on a grade in Crystal Lake IL with no hand brake applied, and after the air bled off, it rolled all the way to McHenry, where Metra stores one trainset on the mainline. The 1313 used the gallery car as a bumping post, with mixed results. The gallery car was apparently collapsed up to the vestibule after the 50-odd MPH impact. 5/27/2010 12:24:36 PM
