The severed fuel tank dumped its contents into the river. So rather than being "just a minor scratch," that probably qualifies at least as a flesh wound.

train movement. Out Date: 05/14/22 19:17 Re: Arkansas & Missouri RR derailment on Arkansas River Bridge. Author: Topfuel The A&M is having a tough year so far. Earlier in the year, a train derailed after encountering a broken rail. At least 2 locomotives ended up on their sides, with one Alco being damaged beyond repair. It is being salvaged for parts.
