No injuries relating to the crash. This was the rear of the train.

Looks like the pushers were not keeping up to the front power!

Looks like a case of "Stringlining". The DP units might have been heavy dynamics, resulting in the hoppers being pulled into the curve. The question is, was the train heading uphill or downhill?

The train was heading down amin #1 because of it's heavy load. More photos and story from the engineer who rerailed the engine at: http://www.socalrailfan.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1039
