Holy Crap. Seeing those cars coming from behind had to be scarey, not to mention that tanker.
A "western modeler" that also runs NS.

What are the chances that would happen on that day with the video on . Shows the power of wind and the slow speed power of a heavy body in motion that just won't stop that easily .

I remember reading years ago about the GN Empire Builder getting blown off the
tracks in North Dakota back in the 1930's I believe. I wish I could remember exactly
where I read it, but if I remember correctly the entire train was deposited a fairly
good distance from the tracks.
