Photos:

The 204001 car lost its load on May 29. 2009 at the Columbus Street Terminal, South Carolina Port Authority, Charleston, SC. This happened right infront of the port police office, the white building in the background. The following photos were sent by someone on the scene shortly after the accident. There was some damage to the car body. The cause appears to be just a little too much curvature with-out shifting the load.

Locaton of the accident

The following photos were taken by Vince Skibo, at New Castle, just before the cars were released for use.
