Ever wonder what happens to the railroad cars >>after<< a derailment? Â They come here:
(All photos taken with a Nikon Coolpx P7100)
I don’t know which derailment these grain cars came from.
Not a lot left that is usable, except as scrap. Â Just stack them up like blocks!
The only thing you won’t find here very often are the wheels and axles.
Have you ever looked at a railroad wheel? Â I am not sure a nuke would do more than dent one.
Although they do get flat spots. Â Down the the Nevada Central RR I saw a lathe used to re-round the wheels. Â That lathe would handle a 96″ wheel!!!
