I remember one time when I worked on the Railroad a north bound freight train with 72 cars hit a foggy section of track along the Connecticut River in Vermont. The train crew didn't see the landslide that washed over the tracks. the lead locomotive made it through with no problems but the next two locomotives and 13 cars went on the ground. There were at least 3 hopper cars carrying salt that ended up in the river spreading its contents for miles. Uh-oh...a nuclear power plant 50 miles down river?
this is a recipe for disaster.
