** READ: at 26:00, what REALLY happened was HA-1 dropped their train off and went to Harrington lite power!**

Railroading can be awesome and rewarding, but sometimes things can happen and they can go wrong! Our professionally trained rail workers know how to handle a situation, but it wasn't entirely the railroads fault of what happened here in this video! For example, the near some 60 year old canal bridge didn't quite line right, causing a 4 inch gap misalignment, which may not sound much, but definitely can cause a train to plunge in the water if not detected! Also, this really messed up the DO-1 local, which in the radio audio you will it becomes apparent!

Another thing that went wrong: we chased K64 but they got held up by not one, but two boats at the canal bridge!

Find out in the video describing the sequence of events as best as I can!
