Looks like springs and side frame from a truck: wonder if it came apart because of, or as the cause of, derailment.
|
The main cause of the derailment was a locked up traction motor on a locomotive. That axle had been off of the rails and caused track damage and then the train derailed behind the locomotive.
I spoke to the road foreman and that was his explanation.
More photos of the derailment are on my site.

(Husband to his wife sitting at the crossing) "Better put it in park. We might be here awhile..."
|
Note that there appears to be NO graffiti on any of these cars. Whatr a joy tobehold.

Great pic. Feel sorry though for motorists using the level crossing

This reminds me of a project I used to be stuck on at work.
