Lifting a derailed train out of the Potomac River in Harper’s Ferry, WV

Took my kids and my dogs for a walk in Harper’s Ferry WV, and happened upon this. Apparently a string of empty grain cars fell off the bridge, destroying the pedestrian walkway and falling into the river around 3 am. This was almost 5 pm and they were still working on it. Very interesting operation! I wish I could have watched more of it.
