I'm just shaking my head wondering how one goes about explaining what happened there to the boss!  You are sent out to clean up a derailment, and by the end of the day, you've managed to lay the clean up train on its side as well!  Talk about a very bad day ... heh.  Thanks for sharing.

It goes to show that you can't fix stupid!

That's what can happen if:

1- You convert to metric gauge a standard gauge loco

2- Try to do things in what you believe is the easy way instead of the right way

3- Goes in a penny wise pound foolish kind of thinking (I'll save the company some $$ if I do not hire a crane to clear the wreck, but it ends up worse than it began)

Ya can't fix stupid! Ayuh!
