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.
