BN had a big wreck between Essex and Summit MT. There was something like 100 cars of corn over the side and broken open. BN decided to leave it, sine it was "natural." The next spring, the stuff was pretty ripe and the bears were entertaining themselves on the fermenting corn mash. The government informed BN that drunk Grizzleys were no fun at all and made them clean up the mess.

That's a thorough job of unloading. Not sure I've ever seen quite so much so neatly arrayed on the track.

Similar thing happened on the SL&RG , just not as much.  It did make a lot of bears happy.
