WOW! I have a foot peddle for my guitar rig headed my way and it was supposed to be in Tucumcari this morning. Hope everybody was okay.

The last 25 cars of a 75-car freight train are what you see in that photo. Nobody was injured, so assumedly the entire train crew were in the 2 engines, and must have already long since gotten safely over onto the other side.

If the engines had still been on the trestle and their very heavy weight made them secure from being blown over on their own, I can't help but wonder if the cars immediately behind were so securely fastened to the engines that they might not have dragged the engines off the trestle with them?
