In two separate places miles apart 2 freight trains loose their boxes due to strong winds in the U.K
Another “life imitating art”!
One night at my train club a double-stack train lost most of it’s containers when it passed a fan… the engineer was not me…[swg]
I bet they were easier to re-rail too.! Have you seen where shap is in the U.K ? Not the easiest place to get too.
UK,
I live in Washington DC.
we’ve been getting high winds in the US as well. Maybe the planet acidentally went into fast forward! However, the weather will change and often does.
Hang onto this sphere with all aboard it. Ain’t it a helluva/great ride?

…Believe the athorities finally realized of the wind potential out here in Indiana…Power generating wind mill projects are finally getting under way.
This is what happens to windmills if they are left to turn
That happens in my neck of the woods often (kansas) in fact it’s happened twice a mere 10 miles (as the crow flies) from me on the transcon in the last 12 years (counting all during that time period on the transcon in kansas, at least a half dozen times). Credit Kansas style severe thunderstorms.
It happened in Nashville during the freat tornado of 1997. Several boxcars standing at Kayne Avenue Yard on CSX ( former L&N, former NC&StL ). They were near the Church Street overpass. I was working in a building near the path of the tornado and saw it after it happened.
