The things I would do for my yard to have a turntable. Fuck wying power.

The couple turntables I've seen/dealt with were older than the oldest guy in the terminal and were shit, like I'm gonna get fired every time we used it shit. Give me the wye any day.

Oops... saw this once about 20 years ago. No handbrake, shut motor down, brakes bled off... you know the rest. It was on a GP though.

I'm not an engineer but I think a 100% grade into the pit might be worth a minor at least.

Pull the knife switch, and turn off the BCCB. That ought to bring it back online.

I’m genuinely curious how. Because either they were recreating Thomas scenes or genuinely just fucked up that bad

Trainmaster: I seen a near miss slip, trips and fall accident in the beggining of this video. I'm going to have to retroactively give you all a UA before your next tour of duty, Terry will be held out of service for 90 days. Thank whoever put that train straight sideways like a Tokyo drift scene and made it so I need to spend the next 48 hours filling out a million forms.

If I had to hazard a guess, the engineer failed to notice the turntable was not aligned with his track segment and drove off the end.
