Western Railroad Discussion > Scrapping some chip gonsDate: 03/01/23 10:16 Scrapping some chip gons Author: wye-it Here are a couple of short videos (unedited) of the derailment cleanup to add to the photos I posted Monday evening (https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,5637400).
Videos are from Saturday (2/25) morning; image is from Sunday morning. 1: Not much left of GPWX 1092. 2: remnants of GPWX 1234 being unearthed from under the chips. 3: 2nd half of GPWX 1247 being scrapped. wyatt  You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos.

Always a possibility I suppose, but things are generally damp after the rain and slush that fell from the sky all week. I saw no cutting torches being used. wyatt Date: 03/02/23 15:20 Re: Scrapping some chip gons Author: GN599 Sad sight! I've handled these cars many a times myself. They are frequent visitors to Columbia Plywood here in Klamath Falls.
