Getting The Shot on the BNSF Fort Worth Subdivision A co-worker talked me into spending this evening out on the property. I am glad we did - it is easy to forget that we work for a railroad in the main office. The hi-lights were following the northbound roadrailer led by NS 9555 sporting a horn that sure sounded like a Nathan P5! We ended up at the recent derailment site in Valley View for some interesting photo opportunities. This brought back many memories and reminded me why it is good to be working in the NOC and not in the field! Here are a few images from the scene. I will eventually get more of them edited and add a full photo essay of the evening in the CMP Photo Essay Library. Until then, enjoy the images below. Clicking on the photos will take you to larger files posted on RRPictureArchives.net. Chris

You can identify three units here-4372, 8123 and 8153, but what others were involved? I think I saw part of a red and silver unit on TV. 5/21/2015 07:45:32 am
The fourth locomotive was BNSF 4482. There were no Warbonnets in this incident.

How will the railroad lift those wrecked engines onto the rail for removal?

I think 2 of them can be saved.

They will take those side boom bulldozers and haul them to the rails and lift them on cars with cranes. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
