There are two classes of railroaders, those who have derailed and those who will. On Friday, the crew of Locomotive 81 joined the class of those who derailed through no fault of their own.

The Nevada Northern Railway has completed a multi-year restoration of 2-8-0 81, in 2021, a Consolidation built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1917. The locomotive had not run in 63 years.

The locomotive pulled into the wye, reversed direction to complete the movement around the wye, then disaster struck. The wheel flange on the tender truck broke off. With the flange gone, there was nothing to keep the wheel on the rail and THUNK, the wheel set was on the ground and the tender derailed. Fortunately, the crew had heard the thunk and were stopping, when the tender dropped off the rail.
