No, what happened?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it happened may 12'th 1989, a southern pacific unit train, carrying trona, something used in fertilizer I think, was heading down cajon pass in california, it was heading down the grade while picking up speed, the engineer tried to slow the train, but couldn't cause 4 of the six locomotive, 4 head ends and two rear end helpers, had bad dynamic braking and that the train was unknowingly overloaded by several thousand tons, the engineer at the back hit the emergency brakes, only to cannel out the dynamic brakes and caused the train to accelerate to 100 MPH, melting the air brakes from the heat and friction, and finally crashed on a sharp curve meant for 40 MPH max. two crewmen and kids were killed. two weeks later, a pipeline exploded in the same area the train had crashed, killing two more people

sierra: I was heading down cima hill in california with 30 60 foot long flatbeds carrying 20,000 wooden ties when my brakes suddenly failed. I accelerated to 135 MPH and traveled for 14 miles before I derailed on a sharp curve. I was able to stay upright even though I was off the tracks, though all the ties from the cars flew everywhere. none of my crew were killed, though they needed to go to the hospital. it took them about a month to repair me
