Do you suppose the "D" on the switchstand has something to do with this?

Nice photo. Really slows the train down.

The D sign marks the location of a Derail. If all 4 of those cars were rolling toward the photographer, then it looks like the derail did its job, and derailed those cars before they rolled onto a mainline, etc, or somehwere where the cars could foul some other track.

Well, if I were the re-railing committee, I'd steer clear of standing next to that log car. Those stakes look like they're getting more than the usual amount of stress from the load.
Neat photo.

I wonder if replacing the D with an R might re-rail the cars? Great catch!
