Good news: It was a normal day in Sharon Springs , KS, when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the long trek to Salina .

The Bad news: Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted, letting a metal support drop down and grind on the rail, creating white hot molten metal droppings spewing down to the rail.

The Good news: A very alert crew noticed smoke about halfway back in the train and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the rules.

The Bad news: The train stopped with the hot wheel over a wooden bridge with creosote ties and trusses.

The crew tried to explain to higher-ups but were instructed not to move the train!

They were instructed "Government Rules" prohibit moving the train when a part is defective!

Don't let common sense get in the way of a good disaster.

Loss of the cars amounted to almost $246,390 according to current estimates. The cost of clearing the area by contractors is estimated at about $36,000. The cost of the coal itself runs around $12,000 and the bridge replacement itself will run approximately $1.8 million dollars, bringing the total cost of the fire to a whopping $2,094,390.
