Join Diane and Andy. We started this blog as we began our travels across America in our RV in 2004. (This blog will go back to January of 2005, but for 2004 travels you can visit our website at www.diandy.com). In 2009 we settled down once again, but in Colorado. Our family has since grown (and moved), and we are once again eager to explore our beautiful country, and hopefully the world...this time with the intent of sharing our love for travel with our little love.

Train Wreck
There was a train wreck at the airport on the day we flew out to Richmond. Two slow moving trains collided under the overpass to the airport. It occurred shortly before we arrived. One train was loaded with limestone and gravel, the other was carrying double-stacked box cars. Both trains were off the tracks. The double-stacked train had either flipped over on its side with the sides split open and its contents spewed all around or further down the line the train was leaning at a 45 degree angle. The train carrying the limestone was zig-zagged off the track for quite a ways. If this is what could happen with two slow-moving trains, I can't imagine how bad it would've been if they were traveling at a normal speed.
