My point was usually, there are electronics indicating if a line is out, for whatever reason (sometimes just faulty electronics) But who knows, maybe being remote and freight, they don’t bother.

[the OlLine Rebel]

No, that’s called the straw that broke the camel’s back.

It’s fatigue failure, and the loco might have pushed the issue some, and then the continued weight brought it down.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Oh please.

Yes, they could, but mere deraillings happen a lot. This was not derailing, but bridge failure.

Besides, how many times do we have to note that Moslems aren’t stupid. They hit what will make a real impact and they want the notoriety.

My first thought was fatigue or corrosion, too, but the pier between the two spans in the water is definitely not visible. I think high waters finally got it.

With that type of bridge, each span needs its own piers at each end.

The Mont. locos aren’t in the drink....

[Cowman]

I just can’t help but wonder if this is an organized sabotage campaign funded by foreign agents in response of the current admin stabbing them in the back

[meyer]

based on the image, the train did not derail, the bridge de-trained!

[Paladin2]

The rails were impressively bent to conform to the new shape of the bridge.

Ever try to bend a rail in the vertical direction?

[the OlLine Rebel]

As I stated elsewhere, aerial maps show it has 2 piers. Which would make sense for 3 trusses. It must have been dragged along over the 1 pier to end up in the water.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Sigh.

Not every accident is a terrorist or other conspiracy.

They would not be so lame as to sabotage a bit of a freight train in the middle of nowhere in MT. It has to be something big and really impactful. This ain’t it. And neither is that Philly bridge.

[Cobra64]

Definitely a likely situation

Atlas Shrugged.

[Vaduz]

Electric trains don’t derail humm a pattern.
