| Remarks: This Fife based UP local ends up T-Boning a Wood chip trailer with their caboose, after the driver's ill advised right turn. A crowd of officials, police officers and bystanders watch as the Conductor (sitting) gently eases the caboose off the truck and to a perfect re-railing. Geez, crews have to go to a lot of trouble to get air freshener for these old cabooses. Click Here for a view of the caboose, after being re-railed. |

As I learned in the Grade Crossing Collision and Investigation class I attended, a common excuse for accidents like this is "The GPS said turn right so I did!" (without looking of course!) |

Thats to bad, That caboose will most likely be getting a new UP paint scheme now. |

Total shame that the MP cab will get most likely get a repaint after repairs... |
