Ernie, You saw a picture on my facebook of a derailment at Clayton, WY. Here are 5 more that have been taken at the site. The reason this derailment happened, the company that is contracted to unload the coal trains at the Dave Johnston power plant in Glenrock, WY were attempting to switch some cars on the loop. They left 120+ cars full of coal and the DP (distributive power) with the DP fence up in isolate, and the air bottled, with no brakes securing the train. Because the train was not allowed to go into emergency, the air bled off, releasing the brakes, and the train rolled backwards about a quarter mile over the split point derail and coming very close to the Main Track.
