Stefanie Abrams of the Weather Channel was on the other side of the tracks at another part of the train.Her backdrop was one on many cars that were completely on their sides. You saw the underbody and wheels. |

It looked like the flat car trains were upright on the tracks.I appears to lion that the toppled box cars (who uses box cars anymore!) were on the next track over. ROARING |

I just saw a train full of box cars in Billings, MT the other week, heading westbound. I assume they would have passed through your neck of the woods a bunch of hours earlier. |

Balance a 14 foot high side of a barn on a 4 1/2 foot base and yep, a good wind knocks it over. Using the 8 foot outside track width of a truck would stabilize freight cars in anything short of a tornado. |
