Correct, i.e. you posted a photo of only what one 3 axle truck did to the rails. It is a pretty old event, and actually was a 6 axle diesel unit, which burned through the rails due to an uncontrolled/corrected wheel slip.

PS- I seem to recall this photo being posted once before and it was deemed to be a photoshop creation....could be mistaken so please don't shoot.

The runner-up.
