Dont you hate it when that happens, LOL. Looks like that was a fun ride.

 

[Motley]

OH man! All the rain, I'm suprised that thing didn't collapse.

 

[Trucklover]

Well, I bet that crew had a fun time getting those 2 beasts out of that one

That could really ruin a person's day.

Whats the saying? an inch of rain= a foot of snow?
Picture all the snow!
Oh yeah theres another thread about this on our sister forum.

I wonder how they cleared them. Maybe drain the fuel and lift them out with a crane?

 

[SavageHunter]

The plan was to bring in another engine to pull it out. I never heard if it worked, or not.

That would be one brave or foolish person that would go in to uncouple them.

Id go out there, chances are if its holding a couple hundred tons of locomotive it can handle an extra 150lbs

They successfully pulled them off the bridge using cables and other engines.

While the comments are light hearted, a shortline in Nebraska had two MofW employees on a double span truss bridge when the pier collapsed, dumping both into the flood waters under the bridge. One employee was found alive, the other hasn't been found yet.

Someone still had to go hook 'em up.

I thought it was 3 employees and they found 2. Maybe it was a different accident?
