Title: I heard a noise and it wasn't a good noise!

*CRASH*
Yep! I broke it...
I was shoving a cut of cars down a siding, and apparently there was something wrong with the track...
Ooooops!

Evidence as to why I should not run on your railroad.

GG, when backing up, please keep the speed under 90 mph and keep at least 3 wheels on each car on the track at all times. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

It was far under 10mph, but the cars split the switch because the points were filed too much, and the braking delay... the locomotive kept pushing them all off the tracks!

Someone want's their money back entrusting your services. Don't worry, you can run my railroad. (Yeah right.) What?! Who?! Where?! How did the mineral red, and greatly weathered ( ;)), boxcar end up uncoupled yet jack-knifed?
