South Boardman seems to be cursed. I'm glad I moved away. The town has been completely (in the late 1800s mind you) burned to the ground in wildfires twice! This isn't the first train wreck at this site either, here's one from 1908 (The Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railway went brankrupt later that year, this wreck cost them a lot of money):
   

Gotta love it!

Was this the truck carrying cars?

It said it was carrying wood chips.

Sorry! There was an identical accident with a car carrier yesterday. I forget where.
