The head end brakeman didn't expect this...June 4, 1976, eastbound at East Palestine, Ohio. I would bet somewhere maintenance was done on that truck and someone forgot the Kingpin. Bumpy track through town finally lifted the car out of the socket. The truck had derailed about 1200 feet to the west. Taken by the best camera I had at the time
