"African or European?"

Do they use centerbeams, as we know them, on either continent?

Hmmm, maybe we'll get to see a live derailment next weekend!  A crowning moment for the Altoona show!  :D

Be careful what you wish for- a derailment could shut down the Middle Division and that would suck some of the fun right out of your weekend.   But, then there will be Ed and Lee's finger-banging, so there's that.   :trollface:

But, Doug, that train is in reverse with a stiff tail wind.  ;)

Apparently, the technical term for some of the cars that derailed is "cargo-beamer".

And that's a newspaper in Altoona. A town so steeped in railroading that its baseball team is NAMED AFTER THE PLACE THAT DERAILED.

This is what happens when you don't support your local paper: they can only afford morons.
