Train Vs. Tornado, Train Loses!
Posted: 21 Oct 2009, 11:03
I recently found this piece of spectacular footage on Youtube, where a tornado blows a freight train off the tracks, and the subsequent derailment and, piling up of freight vehicles.
Here is a quote from the video description;
“The tornado then moved across the Chicago and Northwestern railroad where it blew 12 railroad freight cars off the track. The train was moving at the time the tornado hit it...so as the main engine stopped...the remaining cars on the track continued along it and slammed into the front part of the train. This caused a few more cars to derail...including one containing hazardous materials that caused the evacuation of the town of Lawrenceâ€
