CSX Emergency Stop = Autos Damaged

[Vince]

So as I sit her bored waiting for my truck to arrive, I stumbled on this video during my search for the end of the internet. So something for all you rail shipment folks to worry about or not.

Anyone have their rail go thru plant city fl? Apparently, an auto train engaged its emergency brakes causing its autos to shift/ break thru railcars. Wonder if any Raptors were on board.

*Disclaimer up front fast forward to the good parts. 1:47 might be a raptor might not. Probably not.

I'm a locomotive engineer as well. The vehicles are not strapped down inside the autoracks. They use a chock that hooks to the floor in front and rear. We don't see it very often, but hard hits will cause vehicles to jump over the chocks like seen in the video... 80% of new automobiles built in MI come thru us

Was that guy the Florida shooter?
