Meadow Valley Wash Derailment Site

Meadow Valley Wash

Janaury 11, 2005 the Meadow Valley Wash crested at 18 feet above flood stage taking with it 26 cars from a parked Frieght train and bending track into rollar coaster type hills. Whole sections of rails and roads disappeared.
Three days later Brett Wrick and myself hiked seven miles in to the Meadow Valley to snap these photos. Here I stand at the north end of Rox siding


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Man, that is some damage! You deserve a medal for hiking seven miles to capture the scene.
