I remember a few years back, a MetroRail train (WMATA) did the same thing at the Franconia/Springfield end of the Blue line.

Obligatory multi-track drifting comment. I like the perspective of this shot.

This will work fine for a while, until the tracks move further apart. When working for CP we had a news-print train pick a switch and travelled for nearly 3 miles in that condition, then went on the ground when the westbound track moved away further than the car could straddle between the 2 lines. Took us 3 days to clear it up.

I could not stop laughing after I saw this making my day more enjoyable. Thanks.

@ Boots & Lace Photography , That would have been quite something to see going down the tracks.

I always thought this type of mishap looked better with a loco. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27169339@N08/6137222211/in/faves-35869448@N05/
