My OOPS on the Sandy Branch

My railroad owns a 10 mile line of former B&O south of Canton called the "South Sandy Branch" at the base of it is a Oil facility we picked up tankers from to take to CSX who in turn takes them to a refinery on the east coast.

Anyways, theres a slight curve on the one track, this curve lead to the first accident report that I actually had something to do with.

This past Thursday I bypassed a drawbar while tieing onto the outer track, in turn smashing the walkway on a tanker and a cut lever on bulkhead flat.

didn't help matters that I didn't report it till the end of my shift.

Thankfully nothing derailed, leaked or killed anyone.
