Derailment (2 of 2)

view map


The left photo, from October 2007, shows a derailed hopper car lying on the slope next to the Price River. This is just one of several hoppers that were lying between the tracks and the river. All were made of aluminum and some were badly mangled. The derailment had been cleared so trains could pass. I noticed the hoppers while driving up US 6 and quickly pulled over to the very wide shoulder and parked for photos.

The right photo, from April 2012, is the same scene with a black-and-white print-out of the 2007 photo in my hand. It is focused on the print-out. Holding the print-out steady was difficult because of a strong wind. The previous photo tells the story of my searching for this site so I could photograph it again.
