Hi,
Here are two photos from 1992. I was there about a week after 0503 went off the end of the Chama wye tail track. Right through a pile of dirt.
The third photo is the damage to the end of 0503.
Nothing is perfect.
Can this particular incident be repeated? No. This is the tail track John Bush lengthened across the road and into the woods so an entire train could be turned at one time.
