Work screw ups...

[RustEoldtrux]

Somewhere in my lost archives, I have pictures of the runaway from Tooele Army Depot that collided with a stopped freight train. There were pistons from the diesel engines scattered on the ground and the bare frame of one of the engines was bent at 90 degrees. There were dead pigs in the mixture.

Must have been texting and conducting.

That's how they did it on the Denver & Rio Grande Western RR back in the day! 😆

The Rio Grande has some impressive history, their motto was 'Thru the Rockies' not around like the other RR's. It was a hardcore feat of engineering to make happen... and its still a challenging route to this day.

My territory that I work is proudly former Rio Grande track, I found a rad old map of the D&RGW, had it printed poster size and it's hanging up in my office. I've been over and have worked much of this line in the last 20 years.

I found this cool old D&RG cast back padlock with my metal detector a couple of months ago.

Probably worth some $$$ to the right collector!

This was a friend that I’ve known since I was probably 5-6 years old. I think being killed at work is the worst way to go. RIP old friend.

Aww man. I'm sorry, Chance.

About 15 years ago, I watched our site ERT try to resuscitate a dude that had a heart attach. He ended up passing. It put me in a funk for a week. I can't imagine your last days on earth being spent at work. Sorry to hear about this Chance.

End dumps are sketchy drove one for a year. Never tipped it over but it’s always on your mind.
