Two hoppers in a ditch
Title:  Two hoppers in a ditch
Description:  Two covered hoppers filled with plastic pellets, got away from a private business and derailed into a ditch prior to entering a busy main track in Peachtree City. The R.J. Corman crew got this cleaned up in short order. Quite a sight to watch the methodical approach to righting these cars back on the spur.
