ARLINGTON TX - "A Union Pacific locomotive veered into two railcars traveling on parallel tracks Tuesday, triggering a derailment that left one of the railcars hanging precariously over a busy freeway and tying up traffic for miles, officials said."
I was told this morning that the derailed train car was carrying H2's stacked 2 or 3 deep. If that's true it may have been top heavy. I don't know where the train was headed (or where from).

Already seen report on the news this morning. Our H2 is supposed to have build date of 12-16. My wife and I looked at each other an said "OH SH*#"! Then I told her it couldn't possibly be in Dallas already. Hopefully no H2s in accident.
BTW isn't there a GM assembly plant in Arlington?

I didn't see any H2's, just freight cars on the bridge. Must have been a slight wake up call for the guy the debris fell on!
Officials say one of the trains' cars was dangling over the overpass as a result of the collision, and was held in place by only the guardrail. The car was reportedly carrying Army Humvee vehicles.
