Re: Baltimore Streetcar Museum woes , b/c of CSX derailment

This is at the bridge that goes over the Baltimore Streetcar Museum trolley tracks. No trolleys were on the line because the museum was closed. There is overhead wire damage and substation damage and possible trolley track damage for the falling cars. All that will have to be repaired before trolley operations can resume. The bridge for the CSX freight trains is car enough away from the trolley storage barns and the visitor center, so they are fine.

They have a standard operating rule at BSM, while CSX has cars on that bridge, trolleys are not allowed under or near it, because of falling loose objects. Now we have this derailment , it could have crushed the old trolley cars, and people on them.
