Remarks: Day 3 of the Derailment went slow. They turned the PAN AM boxcar then cut holes in the roof. Then set the paper contents on fire. A splash can also be seen where some of the paper went into the river

Wow! what a mess.

Posted by trainmanj on April 5, 2006

The car looked in pretty good shape before this.

I wonder why the contents of the boxcar must be set on fire, and have the debris go into the river, accidently or not.

Nice shot, looks like Guilford has been busy with putting cars back on tracks this year! I agree Scott, you know the car was partially filled with water and the contents soaked as it sat there before this latest move, hmmmm GRS must be doing fire training and remember how dry we are in the Northeast right now. Sure seems like an odd cleanup process....thoughts out there? Thanks Rich

Wouldn't had been better to off load the paper, take it to a recycle centre instead of blazing up the load to lighten the car for removal
