CSX encountered a track washout about 3am Sunday morning. https://www.11alive.com/article/new...ounty/85-6860f7e3-e4d0-4549-abe8-4024cb7d7599 Not my picture
"He did say that the train was taking in water from the rains." I'm having trouble deciphering this one. What?????
The conductor or engineer may have said that they were taking on water in the cab. A lot of intelligence can be lost between a mouth and an ear when a radio may be involved and/or with lots of chaos, confusion, and noise around.
Interesting that the locomotive has a bottom-shelf coupler. I have never noticed that before, but it seems like some other GE units have this feature. Looks like they had quite a bit of speed behind them too judging by all that wreckage.
