I just took a ride through the yard, and noticed the wrecker and dozers were not on the stand. This tells me there is a wreck somewhere. Does anyone know where? Thanks!

Thats how people get fired, because they improperly through a switch or failed to climb the locomotive steps properly. Especially because the train wound up on the ground!No, actually the poster should not edit his video to protect anyone. If the employee failed to do his job properly and such failure led to a derailment then he deserves to get fired. Railfans owe NOTHING to railroad employees, PERIOD. I have been filmed doing my job on numerous occasions and I would never think to ask someone to edit anything for any reason. By the way, the word is throw.

By the way, the word is throw.Before we start a pissing match, I'll speak my peace and leave it at that. Everything I've ever seen, read, heard or experienced says that it is NOT ok to put stuff of railroad employees up online. You don't cite them (industry insiders) when you have information from them, unless you know them personally (and even then, it depends on the subject matter.) and you don't post pictures or video unless they give you permission. And yes, we railfans do owe employees something, Respect. Simple rules of human interaction. If you respect them, they respect you. No calls to RRPD about suspicious people trackside, no hostile posts from railroaders on the forums here or anywhere else, no repercussions of any kind if you mind your business and show some common sense. It makes our lives easier trackside and their lives easier on the rails.
