The NS 7 a.m. Raleigh Yard Job came off today as it was returning light
back from dowtown. I was able to catch it on tape. Don't think I'll
ever see something like this again.

It started pouring after this, and I had to go, so I didn't see the
cleanup and repair. Can anyone figure out what could have put this
train on the ground? The track in the yard isn't in good condition, but
I wouldn't think a light HH would break a rail.
