Re: WP&Y Derailment Photo

Looks like she split the switch .... wonder who the crew was?

It may be a tourist railroad nowadays, but when I worked up there, I had a snowslide come down and take several freight cars out of the middle of a northbound train and deposit the cars in the bottom of the canyon. Had a depressed-center flat and a coach run away downhill, etc.

It is still a mountain narrow gage railroad and you have to take some of these things in stride.
