That's #378's sill you see sloping downwards - no doubt back a ways is a huge crack across the entire width of the car. And the signbox you see (signed up as "C") looks to belong to #472. Imagine if this had happened to a train loaded with passengers. If I recall, there were a couple of crew that were killed in this accident; that can be independently confirmed.Similar accident in DC - November 3, 2004 - resulted in a telescope, and the June 22, 2009 crash did as well. NYCT B division - crash on the Willy B came close to a telescope - a carbody "invasion" of R42 #4664 by R40M #4461. But that's as close at it's come since this wreck. wayne |
