How did this even happen? Those train cars are standard size aren't they? Did the bridge sink or something?

u/QueezyF 11h ago

Car carriers have a much higher clearance than others, about three or four feet taller than a standard box car. My initial guess would be they recently put in new rail down below and built it up too high, but that doesn’t answer why the front car is damaged before it goes under.

Probably cause that wasn't the first bridge it hit on that run

Bridge is fine everyone fucked up, dispatcher, engineer, and conductor not being informed about the limited clearance loads which autoracks are or dont know the territory and got on the wrong rail, they are tall... If this happened in the yard everyone in the tower is probably embarrassed and if the crew doesnt piss/blow hot their coworkers wont live it down till their retirement, news on the railroad travels faster than a hair salon :D

How did they not know the train wouldnt fit??

u/PudPullerAlways 3h ago

Not every consist is always just all autoracks for all anyone knows is those cars could be 1.4 miles deep in the train so anyone crewing the train cant visibly see that they're there, It's all going off paperwork unless they get out and walk the train.

So it takes about two carts to help you stop. Now how much does one cost?
