Jacob Nelson	General	HOw did this derail? Did it fall over as well?	9/30/2007 12:49:43 AM

Edward Kerns II	General	Nice photo! I would guess that the switch point or switch itself was deteriorated to the point that the next train that ran over the switch would derail. It has happened to CSX a lot!	12/17/2007 12:50:30 AM

steven langsford	General	NICE PHOTO!!! do you know why it derailed?	8/19/2008 4:33:45 PM

Zack Segur	General	All that I heard was that it picked the switch...switch is manually lined when the need to go left, regularly lined to go right. Engine didn't fall over, Hultchers cleaned it up that night. Thanks a lot for all the comments :)	8/19/2008 4:48:06 PM

Mike Schaefer	General	Being GE had nothing to do with it, an EMD would have hit the ties the same	8/3/2009 2:41:12 AM

Virgil Fitzpatrick	General	Another classic case of what happens when you replace the rail, and not the switch points. Look at the new rail that the train was running on prior to the incident	8/18/2009 3:03:57 PM

Mike Schaefer	General	yep that is new rail on the main, wonder what the points looked like	6/15/2010 4:17:15 AM
