Interesting photo. I bet the car maker isn't going to like this news.

it must have been interesting for the homeowners in the backround to walk out and find derailed autoracks in their front yards!

Wow I'm glad someone photographed this event! I remember I was at my friend's house who lives just up the hill (to the left in this pic) of these tracks..it's pretty common for us to hear trains go by, and I can even hear them from my house down in Barnhart... well we heard a bunch of loud clanging and banging and the house was even rumbling a little... we went down to inspect to see brand new Nissan trucks and twisted metal littered everywhere. Unfortunately, I didn't own a digital camera yet so i never thought to take pictures. But even now, you can still see where it happend as there's a large clearing in the trees where BNSF chopped a bunch down to help with cleaning efforts. But fortunately, they planted a bunch of new trees to recompensate that are still in the process of growing. Thanks for the pic!
