Subject: RE: Hopper bottom + train = BAD wreck


SE South Dakota
Probably 15 years ago a watched a farm tractor pulling three gravity boxes full of soybeans just keep going in front of a BN train going 45 miles an hour. Lucky for the guy as the train hit the middle wagon square and just ripped it loose from the other two. Guy in trctor didn't get hurt as far as I could see.
It was quite remarkable to see as the beans just flew in the air and then the third wagon just rolled back.
Cargill has since changed their driveway so that now you don't cross the tracks on their property.
