Upstaged75 6 hours ago
I took a tour when I was in Halifax, and we were WAY up on top of a hill looking down at the harbor when the tour guide told us that the effects of the explosion had reached where we were standing. It's hard to imagine how devastating it was.

Mclaren vs. Guardrail
David Paterson 4 hours ago
Now this ... is funny. It's exactly why this type of guardrail is being replaced by a very different type of crash barrier in my country. Two many vehicles were tunneling under the old style of guardrail, not normally quite to this extent.

Aftermath Of The Autorack Incident
Kabuki Kitsune 7 hours ago
Context: Low bridge near where the loading yard was. Locomotive was a remote control unit, and the operator was new on the job. He was on the far end, away from the locomotive, and was backing the train up after loading to reposition it at a different loading point. Normally this isn't an issue, as they are supposed to only move four or five cars at a time. However the operator had close to thirty during the movement. While the locomotive cleared the bridge... the cars... did not. The operator did not realize his mistake until he was some ten cars deep into the damage.
