Then again I could go trolling under my old user name. Muuuaaahhhhaaahhahah[}:)][}:)][}:)]
Wasn’t that the name of one of the puppies in 102 Dalmations? The one that kept piddling on everything?[:)]
Actually it was my sister’s last name, and the name of her computer. I don’t know what I was thinking when I used that username. Mabee I thought it would be easy to remember. Then I realized “why not just use my real name”, Like duuuu.
lets get back on topic!
Maybe they believe you now even after I said the whole thing happened. I was there too!
Were you one of the people wanting to see the video???
I would have yelled HOLY CRAP when i first say flames!
The thing about the video that blows my mind (hehehe) is that when it goes it looks like it blew right in the crossing almost directly in front of a guy waiting at the gate for it to pass, bet he needed to change his BVDs afterwords!
Got Marshmellows?
Nice vid! Excellent catch. I’ve never seen an engine explode. Those darn GE’s[:D].
OUTSTANDING!
UP 8741 (#?) - UP 8741 in emergency to Dispatcher!!
DS - What’s your emergency 8741?
8741 - We just blew up and part of our engine’s on the side of the tracks.
DS - You’re off the rails??
8741 - No, just a good part of the contents that were in the rear part of the lead motor…
It’s a good thing that nobody was hurt. It’s too bad we didn’t get to see the look on the guys face standing at the crossing - [:O]
So, what was the cause? Anybody know. I don’t think they can blame turbo lag on this one.
HOLY CRAP! is right (and I hope that the local news left that part in),

sounds good to me.
what type of loco was it a dash 9? or an older toaster?, EDIT: i have to wait till im home to watch it, coz im at work oh well… 7 hours and counting…
When I saw that one I said crap also. Now when that motor got back to the shop I know the foreman had a but more colorful language to say. I feel sorry for the last guy to work on that one.
sigh GEs…

Is there any other way to view this clip? I have the newest stuff , but the download either doesn’t work, or it’s being blocked without notice on my computer. It seems to be asking for ActiveX, which I don’t like.
The activeX is for Shockwave Flash 8.
