Remarks & Notes 
This is what happens when you don't watch the switch indicators. Engineer assumed that the siding switch was properly lined, but not only was it not, it was not lined against him completely, so he picked it at 15 mph. All from HB&T Roadmaster on scene. I had a photography release from HB&T back then, and arrived on scene minutes after it happened, having just shot this guy crossing the SP at Tower 26 just minutes before.

Pictures of things often unseen in the world of railroading. Interesting equipment, operations, and people that help the railroad go around.
