Posted by Matt Hultman on February 19, 2013  Oh man what happenned? Posted by John McCloskey Jr. on February 19, 2013  Crap! That ain't good considering the fact that 68Q is a loaded ethanol! Great photo though! Posted by Doug Foust on February 19, 2013  Bad location for a clean up too. Wonder if any actually went over the side? Posted by Jacob Kempf on February 19, 2013  From what I can remember, a rail underneath one of the cars broke, sending at least seven loaded cars into the river in addition ones that fell into people's backyards. I was just starting high school when this happened so I don't remember very much about detour routes and how long clean up took, but this did prompt NS to re-deck the bridge the following summer when several intermodal trains were detoured via Buffalo and Binghamton, NY.

Posted by AbandonedRailroader on February 20, 2013  Did this cause the second track to fall off the bridge partially? Posted by BNSF ES44DC on February 20, 2013  Yes! Posted by on February 26, 2013  Many cars went off the bridge. Look it up, people. http://www.ntsb.gov/doclib/reports/2008/RAR0802.pdf
