51(24) Service Eruption
Author: PC1974

Did anyone hear what 51 hit at Smithson Rd this am on the Monon? Left IND with E/157 on the point.

UPDATE:

Trash Truck. Pic included.... Poor Red Bird.

UPDATE #2:

Correct unit number, I inverted it... I was half asleep when I watched it go by IJ Tower...

Location 21 mi. SE of REN, already 4'44" late, likely waiting for a crew change, these crossing wrecks are unfortunately
a regular occurence with the Cardinal over the last 6 months.

WFLI in Lafayette reports 3 injuries, 2 in the vehicle and 1 on the Cardinal...

Seth, hope your following this thread. We need a pic of E/157 arriving CHI.. Every train they meet makes fun of how bad it looks.. Maybe coming to CHI with one of the ditch lights busted out. I didn't get a chance to see the front of the train, so anxious to get a look at what all the talk has been about!

My friend was on that train and sent me a picture of the front of the engine when they arrived in Chicago. I have it on my iPhone photos but don’t know how to copy and paste it from my album. Can anyone advise me on how to share it with you!
