Posted by CaliforniaRailfan on August 23, 2011  I am at a loss for words. Posted by J Gilbert on August 23, 2011  Would that be HAULING a building across the Santa Fe? Posted by on August 23, 2011  Nice carpet! Posted by steam_marc on August 23, 2011  I wonder what goes through an engineer's mind when he sees a house on the tracks ahead of him. Posted by on August 23, 2011  Am I the only one who is mystified by the explanation given for this wreck?? An apartment building being erected on an active rail line? I don't get it. Posted by David North on August 23, 2011  People were building ON the tracks? Posted by Erick Anderson on August 23, 2011  I also would like to have more information on what happened here (be it a news story or something else). Posted by Jack Wayne on August 23, 2011  That EMD looks as if it wanted to audition for the Beatles circa 1964. Posted by J Moller on August 23, 2011  I was dispatching that night on the SP and recall hearing about an ATSF train in the middle of the night striking a house that was being moved over the crossing on highway dollies. I believe the house was caught up in an overhead wire just prior to the incident. Much of the damage to the locomotive would most likely have been caused by steel beams supporting the structure.
