Tiny sent me this yesterday and I saw it on the morning news today.From Wayne:
This is one of the big timber trestles on the Buffalo & Pittsburgh in
Chicora, PA. Sometime between midnight and 4AM on Saturday, a very intoxicated woman in a Ford Explorer turned west at the Slippery Rock Street crossing, she crossed one 144' timber trestle, then made it most of the way across this bridge which is 529' long and 45' high. She abandoned the vehicle and then walked back across the bridge into town, a feat for a drunk person to do in the dark. The crane "rerailed" the vehicle then it was driven off the bridge. The moral of the story is that those inside guard rails and timber tie-spacers really do keep derailed cars from falling off the bridge.
