Date: 11/17/12 17:03 Re: DRGW 134 derails Author: funnelfan I was thinking that was caused by a derail as well.

------------------------------------------------------- > Through the derails ..... not around 'em LMAO Date: 11/18/12 12:59 Re: DRGW 134 derails Author: alco539 The problem is being that it's a remote controlled elevator locomotive, the RCO is not an experienced locomotive engineer on top of the fact that he is operating from the ground from a distance so he doesn't really know what his engine is doing.
So my bet is that he grabbed way too many loaded grain hoppers and when he applied the indpendent brake it slid right through the derail.
