Derailed Train in Montana Sends Boeing Fuselages Into River https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...-river-n149321 |
Two successful water landings but one with a critical gash to its fuselage. This is not the first train derailment with 737 freight aboard.

Article mentions they are offloading then trucking the fuselages 10km around the incident then reloading onto trains.

The news item that Greg posted doesn't mention a bridge collapse, just the derailment. Do you know if the derailment caused the bridge to collapse, Mark?
Searching media posts a bit further, a train derailed and the bridge collapsed on the Yellowstone River on 24 June, with no mention of Boeing fuselages involved, but this later incident was on 4 July on the Clark Fork River, though both in Montana. |
