Coal Train in Trouble
It was a normal day in Sharon Springs, Kansas when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the long trek back to Salina.......

law of unintended consequences strikes again.

Stop a train, burn down a bridge....whoda thunk it.

oh, I see.

I misread the thread title. I thought maybe they were canceling that fantastic dance show on TV.

Makes wonder why they didn't just get that train moving as soon as they saw the fire burning the tracks. At least far enough to be off the tracks.

bridge would collapse and dump 40 rolling coal hoppers into the mix.


I bet the engineer only had one word for that mess......

"doh!"

Wow.. hard to believe the engineer wasn't aware enough to pass over the bridge before stopping ...
He probably belongs to a union too ...

Yeah, move the train off the tracks...sounds easy enough.
