Posted from iPhone Date: 09/15/20 07:06 Re: Derailment at Santa Fe Jct. Author: Spoony81 Wow that crew got really lucky... brown pants today indeed
I just rewound to 7:49 and watched it happen. The gentleman in the silver Subaru also got a good video of it I'm sure the large cranes are on the way to get the 2 locomotives and cars off the bridge Edited 2 time(s).

Otherwise the results may have been quite different.

Posted from iPhone Date: 09/15/20 13:29 Re: Derailment at Santa Fe Jct. Author: jst3751 So if I am interpreting what I am reading correctly, there is a switch on the bridge.
That switch may or may not be involved in the cause of the derailment. Question: Why would the RR install a switch on a bridge if it at all could be avoided? Date: 09/15/20 13:43 Re: Derailment at Santa Fe Jct. Author: howeld jst3751 Wrote:

There are two routes that converge and diverge at each end of this long bridge and cross over is needed for universal access to each route all on one really long curvy bridge.
