My son just sent me this. They had runaway cars, but the crew got off the locomotive before it hit them. It happened in Texas.
And/or forgot to set the brakes....Somebody had a bad day.
Do you know the name of it?100 years ago, my little town had a Feldspar mine with a tram railroad. The berms & evidence of railbed & road crossings are still there. I aways wondered what the engine & rail cars looked like.
I’ve been to that quarry a few times. It’s very difficult to access and it’s on very private property. Divers have reported depth of over 50’. I plan on hiking back there again this winter.Boy, it was abandoned so long ago that photos are gonna be hard to come by, it appears...
