Once again, The Beacon News gets it wrong. It was not 3 flat cars, it was 2.
What happen was that 2 TT flatcars rolled out of West Eola Yard, and headed
toward the Depot. Rolled all the way to the end of Station Track 1, took out
the bumper post, and continued about another 100 feet into the parking lot of
the Hotel. I got down there about 1 1/2 after it happen. At about 9 O' clock,
Holcher services showed up, and spent about an hour rerailing the 2 cars.
