Look at the money that they're saving though by eliminating the engineer and giving the controls to the switchman.

4 guys working and 11 guys watching. Wonder how many dollars that cost in wasted time, not including
the cost of the cranes and lost time. Good photograph !

What is the "metal work" to the left of 1999?
|
Ry,
I wondered about that myself. Does anyone know what that black tripod looking frame is ?
|
I looked at the second photo of the derailment, and the black frame may be the safety handrail that was
around the tank car's dome area. I think the tank car rolled over , lost the handrail , and ended up on it's
side on the left track.
|
The black metal structure around the locomotive is the bottom railing from the first tankcar.
|
The question is, will they repair the two SD40s or will they go for scrap?

Well, at least everyone is wearing their personal protection equipment !
|
People watching? You have multiple departments of people watching such as Management, Track, Roundhouse and the clean up contractors. All specialized jobs. Will be a complex investigation for sure. Remote operators, active/inactive zones, CP crews, etc. Maybe even track or equipment failure.
