I was in the cab with one other NRHS member, and the engineer. We picked the switch which put the back trucks on the ground first. We were asked to exit the locomotive while they tried to re-rail it. Since myself and the other individual were the only two out on the row, I got some good pictures. Rail & ties were damaged, along with some damage to the GP9.

Boy, that was 😵 a difficult ordeal, I believe 6 axel cars are certianly more harder to rerail as well as 6 axel locomotives. Great boys, 💪😁👍
It's like they are rerailing a model train by Bachmann on that one piece and pushing it back and forth. lol.
Yeah, slightly heavier, haha.
I was on that. Just after the last car cleared the platform, the first car went on the ground.
Was Skip Waters with you, or was he farther up the consist?
@@lancereagan3046 Don't know who that is.
I was there the day it happened. Some of the track was damaged as well.
A steel brake shoe from the GP9 was knocked off, along with a trail of oil across the grade crossing.
