Judging by the tree branch wedged in the A end walkway of the car, Im gona say it had a unfortunate meeting with a tree.

This double stack was set out from a rerouted Q118 train than got on the J at Leithton, to the CC&P at Munger to the BRC at Hawthorne. I was the one who actually called CN to report the car... Never heard back from them, but I guess they found the car. That Q118 train also had ex-DMIR 308 dead in consist for Woodcrest.

I will second you on that thought.

Was this the only double stack in the consist and had no other double stack trains ever used this particular track?

Most of the train was made up of double stacks as Q118 is on of CNs hottest trains into Chicago. Double stack trains use to run back when the CC&P was in control many years ago.

WOW! I don't think I've ever seen this happen to intermodal unit before. I am shocked at the amount of damage.

Well, as they say on NS, wonder who got fired for that?

I'm surprised it didn't come off. Looks empty.
