I noticed that the boxcar at 1:25 (UCRY 300198) was involved in a derailment in the CSX yard in Mattawamkeag, ME on July 2. Somehow the string of cars that it was attached to rolled forward at the same time as the string of cars on the track immediately beside them. They both stopped rolling abruptly, probably when they hit each other in the switch that connected the two sidings. That boxcar was then hit(or was hit by) a CSX locomotive coming from the opposite direction. The boxcar rolled on it's side, and the wheels cut a hole in the engine's fuel tank causing a 1200 gallon diesel spill. Nobody was hurt, but it was in the local news (with pics) there.
Interesting video and locations. Good work.
Thanks!
