I have no idea WHERE this happened. A friend sent these to me and this is the story he gave. There were THREE locomotives coupled together. The crew "parked" the train for FOUR hours. They "tied down" the forward locomotive. I'm not a "train man" but somehow #2 and #3 locomotives were apparently still in gear, and in 4 hours, this is what happened to the rails. Maybe someone has further information on where this happened?
PS ... I'm now told that the photos "came from Canada", so the assumption is that the incident occurred in Canada?? No verification however.
