[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 367962, member: 367"] In the old days when the train came to town there was maybe one or two passenger cars , a dozen small box cars for grain, maybe half a dozen cars of merchandise and lumber maybe a tractor or combine on a flatcar and few cars for Porter Brothers to load out scrap iron and in the winter coal box cars. The old boxcars were about half the size and weight of the new hopper bottom cars. Now days when the train rolls in she is pulling at the the minimum over 100 plus huge hopper bottom grain cars down the same tracks that were laid out in the olden days. I haven't paid attention to any of the derailments other than I noticed the drone footage on the news of the last couple derailments and there was water close to the tracks on both of them. [/QUOTE]
