Southbound Manifest Through F3 Tornado Damage |
| Description: |
As we were coming back from Caruthersville, MO from surveying the damage we caught this Southbound Mixed Freight BNSF Train M STLAMO1 07 on the River Sub. where April 2nd's F3 Tornado crossed the tracks, the town of Braggadocio was 95% destroyed. The second unit sure was a catch! The crew waved while looking at the damage at 50 mph. When the lights started at the crossing, a pick up truck with a tree trimming business ran the lights, thank goodness there was a Missouri Highway Patrol Officer coming in the other lane, try that again, stupid. The detector said: no defects, total axles 134, temperature 48 degrees. The train was 47 cars long, with 29 loads and 18 empties. It weighed 4,256 tons and was 3,124 feet long. |
