Yard Derailment |
| Description: |
Here's the scene and how it happened. The three locomotives (SSW 9647, UP 177, and UP 2537) ran across a switch in the yard, where the switch frog joins the rail of the track, the old rotten tie fell through, it broke in half, the frog fell through the tie and the rail broke out of it, coming up and knocking the brake shoe connecting rod loose from the rear axle on the fireaman's side of SSW 9647, and the rear axle jumped on top of the rail head. The rear axle was was knocked back over into the gage as I arrived. These two men drove up with the area wheel truck were at work repairing the brake rigging as the truck in the background unloads a new section of rail, a frog, and a few ties. |

Unpatched SSW |
| Description: |
That Cotton Belt unit came back up from the south, I couldn't believe it when I saw that it hadn't been patched, even after it went back to North Little Rock. |

Fixing To Meet |

I waited at the county road crossing at Ives for the train to come by, hoping for a meet in my general area. Those rotten soybeans laying in the road reaked. |
