2012 doesn't exist in the USA. Assuming that's where this wreck was...

Regardless, it's still fairly "new" in my book!

go to www.wreckedexotics.com click on that photo and it tells about a train full of coal derailing and a bridge collapsing due to the weight...they were sitting under the bridge.

Train wrecks are such horrific disasters that we in the ER use the phrase "train wreck" to describe really bad situations in general. All the advanced safety features ofcars like rhe new GS can't alter the laws of physics, mass, and motion.

Happened near me. This train had to be going to the Kenosha Coal Electric Plant. I'm going to cross the same rail line in a few minutes on my way home.
