Pretty bad! All that lumber dumped! I knew personally the railroad operator and he was fit to be tied that day! It was not the train's fault, the ground on the bank just gave way. The line is on a fill in wetlands built in 1903 when the railroad was for streetcars. Nowdays, the track has been moved to the right side of the former double track R.O.W. and a paved hike/bike trail is on the left side, looking north in these photos.
