robertanderson Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 It was a normal day in Sharon Springs, Kansas when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the long trek back to Salina. Just a few kilometers into the trip, a wheel bearing became overheated and melted off letting the truck support drop down and grind on top of the rail creating white hot molten metal droppings that spewed down onto the rails. The GOOD NEWS to this is that a very alert crew noticed a small amount of smoke halfway back in the train and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the rules. The BAD NEWS to this is that the train just happened to stop with its hot weeels on top of a wooden trestle bridge built with creosoted ties, bents and trusses. And the photos below show the results: sorry dont know how to post actual images if sombdy wants to help me out? http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain1.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain2.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain3.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain4.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain5.JPG http://www.rockinghamremembered.com/CoalTrain6.JPG[attachmentid=16865][attachmentid=16866] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
