Perhaps in Tumbleweed Junction

 

[NightCrawler]

Was "Tumbleweed" the name of the officer who pulled over a guy nick-named "Freight Train"?

I'm here. I'm gonna guess that the tumble weed got caught on the brake rigging of a car and tripped a TWD with a dragging defect?


I've got other theories also and you are gonna love Jenny's theory

 

[Smoke_Dog]

I'm waiting for the answer!

On Monday morning, if someone would have told me that tumbleweeds could Stop A coal train, I would have said " your full of shid, no way". That was until yesterday Morning, 12 miles west of Hardin, we were pulling up Rowley hill, going 15 Mph & the wind was blowing about 50 mph & we ran into thousand's of Tumbleweeds come to a dead stop in about 5 car length's, they blew under Our Drivers & we lost all our traction & were dead in the water. We had 3 Engines & got 2 more engines off another train & Still couldn't move. We were stuck there for 5hrs & 35 min. & finally Had to Back down the hill & let another crew take over because we ran out of Time To work, crazy huh?......Stacy
