Little Sugar Creek CSX Train Derailment near Brookshire Freeway (I-277) - 23 July 1997

Yes. I'm going off memory. There were 2 locomotives. There were 3 workers. The first locomotive made it across the failing culvert. When the train came to a stop, the second locomotive was over the culvert. The first locomotive was safe on dry land. Seeing what was about to happen, the 3 railroad employees abandoned the train and ran to the safety of terra firma. The rest happened in slow motion. That is why there was time for film crews and a helicopter film film crew to arrive on the scene.

Did the crew of the train survive?
