Braze was an early freight king from the Philly area, and in the mid-1980s was one of the first writers to do pieces on freights. This piece I caught while walking the line of a stopped train due to a derailment on March 19, 2001. A rare instance of knowing the exact date of a flick as I rarely wrote those details down. Out of luck I was benching the line rolling by with a friend as it slowly came to a stop. I then realized one of the hoppers had derailed. A few years later in 2004 or so, I caught the same Braze piece roll by in Dayton, Ohio. I missed the flick, but my good friend Jordan was able to barely catch it. I previously had posted about the derailment here. 1: March 19, 2001, scan from the original negative, 2: circa 2004, scan from print, photo supplied.
