  8. CTRW derailment Nov 2009

    CTRW derailment Nov 2009

    In an attempt to add a photo at least once a week, I thought I'd start with one from last year. Carlton Trail was just entering the Prince Albert yard with a load of grain, when the last three cars jumped the rails and carved a nice groove in the pavement. Several hundred feet of track had to be...

  13. Whoops!

    Whoops!

    Southbound Tacoma to Pasco derailed about 7 cars, but only on one side. I'm amazed how the rail stood up to the tremendous pressure applied by the flange on the other rail. This happened at approximately 3:15pm on March 30th, 2008. The train stopped just under the Narrows Bridge.

  15. CTRW Oops...

    CTRW Oops...

    Driving through rural SK, looking for CTRW in semi-abandoned hamlets, I finally found some RR equipment in the middle of now-where, next to a deserted HWY. Judging by the bulldozer tracks, CTRW decided to clean this one up. His trucks are just outside of the frame.
