For those who believe nothing exciting ever happens in Kansas, except tornados and explosions, check this out


It was a normal day in Sharon Springs, KS when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the long trek back to Salina.
Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted off letting the truck support drop down and grind on top of the rail creating white hot molten metal droppings that spewed downward on the rail.

A very alert crew noticed a small amount of smoke about halfway back in the train and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the rules.
The train just happened to stop with the hot wheel on top of a wooden bridge built with creosote ties and trusses
