Caused by a broken wheel on a 2 bay cement hopper! Watched the cleanup from above! One piggyback car being lifted by a Cat 988 loader and watching them push it out of the way and then because the trailer was damaged, they trashed the whole load! Antoher loader moving into the end of another pig car, encountered the end of a section of rail and while pushing against the rail, you could hear the rail snap and shrapnel from the rail, impacting the hillside just below where we were standing! One car, a large tank car had derailed and was leaking it's load into Rose Creek! A loader was busy building a berm around the car to prevent it's load from flowing into the creek. it turned out the load was Fish Oil and the decision was made to knock down the berm and let the fish oil flow back to where it came from in the first place!! A total of 17 cars had piled up in this derailment. Mike Date: 07/04/19 13:30 Re: First derailment I remember in San Diego. Author: bnsfdevore I have photos of the Rose Canyon Derailment. I'm the UPS driver in that area. Customer knew I was into trains and gave me the photos. I'll try and dig them up.
