Train crash in Indiana, logs scattered everywhere

A derailment caused a serious train crash in Bloomington, Indiana. Investigators examining the wreckage say the derailment was due to conductor fatigue. The conductor attempted a sharp turn at too great a speed. He had been working for more than nine hours without a break.

The logs, which were Lincoln Logs, were scattered all over an open field. Fortunately the crash did not occur when the train was in an urban area.
