Yah well duh, I didn't drive and halfway down to the plant we hear that the trestle is down, so
no pictures. The unit is on it's side in ten feet of water. They were shoving off the tank car
loads of water used to stabilize the bridge when it went. The three sections of steel through
truss are still standing but the northern wooden trestle approach is toast. One tank is still on
the rails, one halfway in and two more plus the unit in the water. The line is next to the
highway (100 feet away) so it's possible that a set of cranes could drag the equipment out of the
way to rebuild the bridge. The water is still pretty deep and moving and for the moment Tyson
is transloading the tallow around the bridge in a fleet of trucks.
