Stuttgart, Ark. UP bridge collapsing *with train on it*?!!

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

The article says the bridge is sinking... not collapsing. Perhaps too much rain has softened the ground around the bridge supports? The weight of the train obviously is playing a factor.
