@CSXFAN, P40 #819 was the lead engine that struck the bridge. 262 & 312 were trailing
This was the lead engine in the crash. You can tell from where it hit the bridge on the nose of the engine.
Vivid image - very sad event
This was the second unit in the consist and it burst into flames and ignited the water's surface with burning diesel fuel.
Y-E-O-W-T-C-H!!!!! Who hit it, or what did it hit, Tim? What happened to the crew?
Sad!
This must be the train the crashed into Big Bayou Canot? It's a sobering picture.
