| Remarks: RJ Corman crews work on getting one of the last derailed grain cars back on the track in Buckeye Yard, as the NS track crews work on repairs. The main hump track is being worked on off to the right, and the lead in the center had the most damage, the lead to the far left had the least amount of damage. |

Holy 136-pound-rail-being-bent-like-wet-noodles, Batman!
How did this happen? Runaway cars? Defective switch? |

"Be the safest, most customer-focused and successful transportation company in the world." is NS's motto. Hmmm.... Nice photo, though. |

A small chunk of railing may not bend at all, but a long enough section will bend with the force of small car pulling it. In old times, they used this advantage to reline rails using breakdown trains' cranes to actually pick up the railroad by removing the spikes and hooking on the tie. |

I just found out what happened finally, this derailment as well as the one about a month ago were caused by a bad frog in the switch, located by the car they are currently working on. |
