A train derailed near Superior Thursday, sending Boeing aircraft fuselages into a river.
Nineteen cars on the westbound train derailed. Three of the cars contained aircraft parts and ended up in the Clark Fork River. Boeing said the train was headed from Spirit Aerosystems in Wichita to the Boeing final assembly plant in Renton.
No one was hurt. The cause is under investigation.
Boeing said the Burlington Northern Santa Fe train was carrying six 737 fuselages, fuselage panels and a lower lobe for the 777, and a leading edge flight surface for the 747.

Ive heard off a program being derailed , strange only a few weeks back was a posting , a Hurricane/Tornado lifted and stopped a moving train .. the oil/fuel tender on the back weight in at 117 tons only to be push aside to have the rest of the Choo Choo .. charging at the engine .. first wagon was a whooping great fuel tanker ..

I thought to myself .. these winds and storm are strong but if your moving .. its bloody easy to be kicked off the rails .. maybe here .. a dumby driver !
