Notice anything unusual about this shot? Such as the fact that you can see right through the gondola to the rail head and ties below!? The bottom of the gondola ripped apart and away from the car somehow, dumping a significant portion of the cars coal in the process. Much of the coal still remains, teetering in the car. The car is in the house track at Rollins where it will wait until UP figures out what to do with it.
