Zach Pumphery	General	Did it rip the end out of the car...that must be why UP got rid of it, lol.	6/3/2005 8:05:27 PM

Zach Pumphery	General	Almost looks like the bottom of it was cut with a torch, look at the metal hanging off like it was molten.	6/3/2005 8:11:16 PM

Rick Hoar	General	A little RR CSI. I'd say they had previously found a crack and did a really poor job of welding it. Probably never even took the stress off of the frame member letting the crack go back together before welding. Looks like shoddy maint. Never realized that these things are like a uni-body, no real frame.	6/3/2005 8:43:45 PM

Scott Flynn	General	I like the BE CAREFUL	6/3/2005 9:30:33 PM

Structural Failure
The car was literally pulled apart at the "A" end. Note the shiny metal versus the old crack.
