Isn't this the picture made famous by Numb3rs? Hope they got permission.
|
If they didnt, its copyright infringment.

Numb3rs, I love that show. But I don't know who derailed that small train with a schoolbus? Someone, I need an anser?

This is incredible. The river is the Trinity. I'll bet that I've driven (or been driven) by there a thousand times in the last 60 years. I don't think that I've ever seen any MAJOR work on that bridge. You can see how the water has taken its tole on the foundations. I've seen the water within a few feet of the rails and down so low that a lot of sand shows in the bottom.
Numb3rs, huh? Gotta start watching the re-runs.

It appears that the bridge pillar has been struck by a barge or something prior to this incident...
|
I don't think it's supposed to be like that.
|
" If that idiot in the speed boat hadn't of hit it a day ago that train would have no problems at all crossing the bridge, I saw it officer, this big boat hit the piller then left. then this, it looked like a mini barge with a motor.
|
I see the problem here. Great photo!

I was driving back from Lufkin to Cypress on highway 59 and passed by this scene right after it happened

One guy appears to be under the hopper! Id be afraid that bridge would decide to fall
|
Is this line in service today?
|
Very lucky that the whole structure didn't collapse.
