November 30, 1999, forcing the evacuation of about 70 families. David Fruth, a TrainWeb staff
member who lives near the scene of the derailment, was able to grab his camera and get the
photos posted on this page shortly after the derailment. The night scenes were shot on the
evening of the derailment. The daytime scenes were taken the next morning after the derailment.
