Wow..Glad she laid over to the Left, if it had been the other way, the old Hotel might be missing a porch! I love that old building...need to get back down there and spend a day shooting around Bulls Gap this year.

Have a buddy that owns land beside the yard so getting close is not a problem here.Glad the crew wasn't hurt.  What is the protocal for things like this ? I assume they investigate it like a crash or do they natuarally just hang out the crew ?

There is a switch that is located back about where the first or second coal car is in the photo.  I'd say there is a good chance that the lead loco picked the switch.  It would be hard to blame the crew for that.
