This is a Canadian National locomotive that is by a 4 stroke, V16, 4400 Hp, 183 liter diesel. Unfortunately, it had catastrophic engine failure. While the train was passing through Independence, Louisiana, the engine exploded and one of the 16 cylinder packs was thrown completely through the train. The failure was so violent that the cylinder fell through a nearby home’s roof and wound up in an interior wall.

It happened this way. This coal train’s support dropped down when a wheel bearing got overheated, and the train crew immediately stopped the train in compliance with the instruction. But it stopped on top of a wooden bridge. Inside this post, you can see what happened next. This is oldie of the day, but we didn’t have a post about this train before.

These photos are of a train complete with the track that has been abandoned. There is no word on where they are located but from the looks of them, they have been there for a while. For train aficionados this post is really something.

Two carriages of a passenger train fell into a river on Thursday, August 19, after floods knocked out a bridge in southwestern China. They swept 200 meters down the river. No casualties were reported and no one was missing, as all 1,300 passengers had been ordered off the train before it derailed. Terrible experience for these people.

Moscow train called “Aquarelle” transports works of art from the famous Russian museum once a year in the Moscow subway.
The museum staff selected the paintings from its world famous collection. Their 35 high-quality reproductions will be placed inside the ‘art gallery train’ and the passengers will be able to see the famous paintings of the great Russian, Italian, German and British masters.
This is the third exhibition held in the "Aquarelle" train.
I think the idea is very good and it seems that Muscovites appreciate it a lot.

If you happen to pass thru the Russian suburbs on a train you might get to see a $450,000 Rolls Royce Centurion that has crashed on a railways sidewalk like a child’s unwanted toy.

When it comes to an accident with a train, the train always wins, hands down, regardless how large the other vehicle is. If you don’t believe it, have a look at these photos. The train is once again the clear winner in this contest.

This is one of the highest railways in the world. It connects Xining, Qinghai Province, to Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, in China. The total length of Qingzang railway is 1956 km. Construction of the 815 km section between Xining and Golmud was completed by 1984.
This railway is the first to connect China proper with the Tibet Autonomous Region, which, due to its altitude and terrain, is the last province-level entity in mainland China to have a conventional railway.
More than 960 km, or over 80% of the Golmud-Lhasa section, is at an altitude of more than 4,000 m.
The 1,142-km Qinghai–Tibet railway from Golmud to Lhasa was completed on 12 October 2005. It opened to regular trial service on 1 July 2006.
The trains are specially built for high altitude environment. From October 2006 five pairs of passenger trains run between Golmud and Lhasa, and one more pair between Xining and Golmud. The line has a capacity of eight pairs of passenger trains, and the carriages are specially built and have an oxygen supply for each passenger.

So many broken cars … my heart is bleeding :(
This accident happened in Oshawa (Ontario) last month in a rail yard where they ship out GM vehicles.
One of the guys who attaches and detaches the car haulers accidentally unhooked a set of train cars while the brakes were not set. As the yard is inclined, the set of car trains rolled down the hill and smashed a fence and then new GM cars that were in the parking lot…
What a mess and what a waste…
Someone’s gonna get fired!!

David Smith, an enthusiast from New Jersey, has created the world's smallest railway station with a train of five cars.
This train is 35,200 times smaller than a real one. And it is able to move along the circular "railroad" through the tiny tunnel. What's the secret?

Early in the morning, you go to catch your train, then you see ‘this’ and your mood is immediately improved even though there’s a whole working day ahead :)) Yes, I would laugh hard if I saw this.

It happened in Melbourne - a six-month-old baby survived after his stroller rolled off a railway station platform and into the path of an incoming train.
No one thought he could have survived, but he did!

Although the experiment was quite dangerous (the train could go off the rails), but the pictures turned out to be very good.
Various objects (bottles, apples, stones) were put on the rails just before a train passes at a high speed smashing them and turning those objects into dust. High-speed photography was used to make these great shots.
