G&W 61         
Some miscreants released the brakes on some cars in Leroy and this was the result. The cars rolled down to P&L Jct. at a high rate of speed and hit the consist of a train that was working there. Thankfuly, the crew was in the other end of the lashup.

Christopher Clark General Depends on where in Leroy and where at P&L, but rough measurements are just about 5 miles, with an elevation difference of about 150-200 feet overall between Leroy and P&L. 12/18/2012 5:24:49 PM
