Well once again we had a good wreck on the R&IT. :D Engineer Cyrus and conductor Super Dave were working Buffalo yard to help get ready for the show this weekend. By the time they were done they had an axle count 288. This was fine pulling out, it was shoving everything back in that ended up being the problem. While shoving onto track 1 in buffalo there was a "mishap" between CP Rohatch and the Alexander Bridge. They manage to de-rail 7 CSX coal cars, a NYC transfer caboose and a Conrail caboose #21288. The last coal car was on its side on the Alexander bridge, dumping its load onto the track below. Dispatcher Chris sent a crane to the wreck and a plow to the track underneath the Alexander Bridge to clear the coal off of the track. All was cleared up in a short amount of time. It was determine that the Train crew were pushing too many cars and have been served a warning to be more careful.
