My son is a huge railfan and when he heard about this derailment he asked if we could make the 60 kilometer drive to check it out. We arrived at the bridge to see utter chaos and destruction east of the bridge. The cars were piled up like toys and the track was like spaghetti in spots. It's truly amazing what kind of power these things have. Another miracle is that nobody was significantly hurt. We took some video and pics. I posted a link to the video. My son still talks about this.

Cheers
