@David Johnston posted:The track appears to be up on a embankment about 8 feet above the natural ground. The cars are about 30 feet from the near rail on the south side with their trucks facing away the track. These cars had to role through about 270 degrees to get into this position. Damage to the roofs shows that the cars were sliding through the ballast when they were completely upside down.
This had to be terrifying. Thank you for this comment, this gives insight into violence of what was going on inside the cars that led to loss of life. Such a tragedy.
