Wonder which of you poor souls have rigs being delivered by this train?

Wild. That photo is taken from one of the jack-knifed train cars. Hate that for someone.

Man it looks like all of the buildings got missed by the cars which seems crazy. That or the RR had moved them from where they derailed. Sucks for the jeeps on the carriers they are all getting crushed on site.

Here is a link to the one back in July 2019. A lot more carnage.

My Jeep order says shipped 11/1 and I live on the east coast so could be mine...

Wow that's wild. So those vehicles aren't insured right? But I guess the train company is? So they'll owe Jeep the money? just trying to figure out where this cost is going to be passed to the consumer

Hope not.

Rail company has common carrier liability insurance to cover the freight it transports. They will pay the shipper out.

But the wait will continue for those affected....

My brother in law is a train engineer and experienced this with a load of Escalades years ago. Insurance will cover it and all vehicles on the train’s cars will be recycled. None should make it to the public’s hands.

It hurts to see that, but it hurts worse to hear they are being crushed. All I see is cheap spare parts.....

Definitely could be. Derailment happened 140 miles almost due East of Toledo. Any word from your dealer?
