I did get to see it. Thanks, John. That wasn't too far from where I live. Of course the local paper also ran a story about a similar accident nearby, back in 1974. It was a lesson in how not to deal with this kind of derailment. 56 firefighters and rescue people injured and many pieces of equipment destroyed when five of the jumbo propane cars blew up as they were trying to fight the fires. One car flew about a quarter of a mile. Frank
