Lots of old decrepit train trestles in Colorado, I’ve seen them. I believe it’s part of engineered obsolescence in a sense. State inspectors ran a calculation and figured enough of the infrastructure would fail at a given time and this would save replacement costs in that years budget.

Another possibility could be that it was an observable weak point primed for exploiting by any number of actors.

The idea that an investigation is required is absurd.

Better chance that car bearing failed, car left track, more cars piled up on bridge causing failure.

This is a weak second fiddle compared to the new thing, and then the new thing after that, etc.

How many Michaels do you know? How many read this site? No one is posting under your name so don’t flatter yourself. As for a weak comment, what is your grading scale? .

According to Bear Independent in one of his recent ‘briefs’, there has been an explosion at a Hornaday ammo plant which has stopped production and Lake City has halted all civilian sales due to demand from the Middle East and Ukraine. We have watched a steady procession of derailments and food processing plant disasters over the past year or so. Anyone who denies that enemy cells have been established in the USSA through the open southern border would be delirious. A conspiracy theorist might, at some point, believe a covert war is already well under way.

Worth a listen, but caution, language is ‘military’.
