Railroad Fire pictures
I work in transportation and once in a while get some cool emails like this.

Good news:
It was a normal day in Sharon Springs, KS when a Union Pacific crew
boarded a loaded coal train to head on the long trek back to Salina.

Bad news:
Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing becomes overheated and
melts off letting the truck support drop down and grind on top of the rail
creating white hot molten metal droppings to spew downward on the rail.

Good news:
A very alert crew noticed a small amount of smoke about halfway back in
the train and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the rules.

Bad news:
The train just happened to stop with the hot wheel on top of a wooden
bridge built with creosote ties and trusses.

I highly doubt that the crew was in the containers, so I'd be surprised if anyone didn't make it out.

I've heard stories at work where containers show up at the customer and there were homeless people in them, feces/urine piled in the corner and all..
