Ya know the one on NV with all the Jeeps.

Got some insider information, it wasn't all Jeeps there were some Chevy trucks and Gladiators and SRT Cherokee's bunch of Rubicons also.
 
I saw the Jeep pictures first, then saw the Chevy pictures which I thought looked the same as the Jeep but with Chevy's. So then I figured someone was just making a bunch of fake train wreck photos. But then I realized they were the same train accident.

A crane operator I know is working on the cleanup.
 
By the looks of the canyon walls it looks like it happened in the town of Caliente, in Lincoln County. I used to live there for several years.
 
I bet there is a wrecking yard nearby that's going to have a lot of gen 6 small blocks and 8 speed transmissions for sale with a lot more stuff.

This happened a few years ago just outside of the Pontiac east assembly plant. But that train was all gm trucks. One yard bid to take the damaged trucks. Sold them all.
