Talk about a "grinder"............................;)
|
Any injuries?
Loram has sure lucked out, didn't they just have a "run in" at Rochelle this year?
|
Uhh...exactly what happened? Did the Loram rail grinder collide with a stack train???
|
What is that under the rear axel on the Loram?

For what it looks like to me, is that there must of been a miscommuncation between the two trains. The Grinder hit a parked stack train that looks if it is waiting on the highball or perhaps crewless. Just my two cents!

NS 214 had pulled into the siding to meet 24T going the opposite direction. 24T was late, so 214 left it's tail on the main to avoid blocking a busy grade crossing. The railgrinder came around a blind curve doing 15-20 mph and resulted with this. Thanks to those on the VRFE email list for providing this guess. Above is not actual, but probable.
