I no longer have the news accounts of this derailment, but if memory serves me correctly this is what happened. The Silver Metieor was traveling at authorized speed, north or south I don't know, and was passing a pig train on an adjacent track with an unsecured trailer, collided with same, with this resulting derailment involving the majority of the train. One crew man was fataly injured in the lead locomotive. the picture shows the second unit after rerailing. Thanks for your inqurry, Patrick Treadaway.
