just another day at the yard...and a train derails

I get to the truck yard today to find the railroad guys resetting three train cars on the track about two hundred feet from my area. The cars bumped off the rails but were upright. Ok, all looks good, they relax as the last of the three is safe and being rolling further down track. As three railroad guy are surveying the track damage the train with countless cars rolls back over the damaged track causing the derailment. The chubby guy first realizes what is about to happen, trips on the track and falls to the ground. With only a long second of time before he is wearing a 100 ton suit, the two other guys grab him and hurtle him like a bag of potatoes his feet and run. It was close. When I left the yard tonight they were bringing in much larger equipment than what is in the pictures.

Truck related: got the hubs on the '47 today.
