This is a new group to me, but this happened recently. This photo, and its caption, features part of the Amtrak station. It was a pretty big deal here. Sorry if irrelevant.

Thought this was more recent but looks like about 13 days old at the moment. Pick your source:

It's true. I haven't been to Elko since before it happened, but I understand the cars are still there. I didn't mean to make it sound like it had just happened, sorry for the confusion 🙂 big deal in a small town haha. Thankfully it is just corn. And a possibly damaged bridge and track.

I just like to read more on these kinds of things. Personally I'm really impressed about the "no injuries" part
