Posted by Matthew Mitchin on April 16, 2009  Judging by the tree branch wedged in the A end walkway of the car, Im gona say it had a unfortunate meeting with a tree. Posted by Kevin The Krazy 1 on April 16, 2009  This double stack was set out from a rerouted Q118 train than got on the J at Leithton, to the CC&P at Munger to the BRC at Hawthorne. I was the one who actually called CN to report the car... Never heard back from them, but I guess they found the car. That Q118 train also had ex-DMIR 308 dead in consist for Woodcrest. Posted by Jon Witherspoon on April 17, 2009  I will second you on that thought. Posted by stan schurman on April 17, 2009  Was this the only double stack in the consist and had no other double stack trains ever used this particular track? Posted by Kevin The Krazy 1 on April 17, 2009  Most of the train was made up of double stacks as Q118 is on of CNs hottest trains into Chicago. Double stack trains use to run back when the CC&P was in control many years ago. Posted by Greg Poston on April 17, 2009  WOW! I don't think I've ever seen this happen to intermodal unit before. I am shocked at the amount of damage. Posted by M. A. Brown on April 17, 2009  Well, as they say on NS, wonder who got fired for that? Posted by David Wheeler on April 18, 2009  Looks likes someone took a hacksaw to it. Yikes! Posted by Marty Bernard on April 22, 2009  I'm surprised it didn't come off. Looks empty.
