If you place a wager on whether a train will derail... is that considered off-track betting?

Right outside Five Points on the Court St. crossing. Minor, but quite a traffic headache.

The Unit looked to be WSOR 4010 ? I agree with CNW 600, It could have been the JH or HJ?

Flatbeds give me a headache too! Especially when I was looking forward to a hearty pumpernickle roll !
First they buy up all the Dunkin' Donuts franchises - then they attack the very foundation of the All-American sammich! :mrgreen:

They generally don't work any industries there. More likely, the cars were being switched, though it could have been an inbound or outbound train. Once upon a time, "Clyde Hancock III" showed several slides from the Pearl Street side of Five Points, wherein empty centerbeam flats ended up perpendicular to the rails, just because of the way the train was made up! Fun times -- errr, bad days... :swg:
