I was surprised I couldn’t find a topic for this story here on TO, so here it is. This link will take you to the story: https://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/archive/2019/10/06/cgb-6-vehicles-collide-when-worlds-largest-steam-locomotive-big-boy-rolls-through-beryl/#.XZtsg-RlAlQ Posted from iPhone Date: 10/07/19 10:04 Re: 4014 Chasers Injured In 6-Car Pileup Author: JohnM Which goober was at fault....I’ll take a stab at an unsafe passing move.

Too many totally ignorant and self-centered people out there. Looks like this one may have been on a dirt road too. Probably driving blind in the other guys dust and tooinvolved to think, "Hey, I can't see. Let's go faster maybe it will be better."

Date: 10/07/19 13:14 Re: 4014 Chasers Injured In 6-Car Pileup Author: warren1977 Looks like a standard rush-hour wreck on any interstate here in Maryland; too many vehicles trying to occupy the same space.
The most serious injury may not have been seatbelted, but I wonder if things would have been worse with higher speeds. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/07/19 13:15 by warren1977.

Out Date: 10/07/19 14:34 Re: 4014 Chasers Injured In 6-Car Pileup Author: coach I remember when 844 came to Oakland, CA. While waiting, a "railfan" approached me. Total nerd. Nose picker, too--seriously. Railroad shirt on, plus the hat. Spoke like a nerd. I moved away to avoid him and whatever he might have done when 844 came by, and since then, if I train watch, I prefer to be either alone, or with a more intelligent group. I also refuse to wear some RR shirt and hat.
