Did not know of this until a week later and got down to it a couple days ago. It's like 6 miles south of here. Last week there was one parked on the siding for several days which was part of the train that derailed. That must have been damaged but didn't notice anything. They don't look good on the ground that's for sure.
In a way this reminds me of my uncle's Leader Dog who himself became blind.
To get to where this happened their is a back way. That back way is still there but now features a locked gate that I do not have a key to. But I do have a smaller motorcycle that goes under fences quite nicely quickly and easily. That back way comes out on a county road. About 3.5 miles away. To drive from here to the same spot is 18 miles. From that point it was still 2.5 miles away and I rode right to it. If I had driven it would have been 16.5 plus two miles walking just one way.

So it was the wind that did it in? Or the train just derailed? The irony of a propeller being destroyed by the wind appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's true Jan and I think it's blowing about 50 right now maybe more. There is a turbine just south of Pueblo at a factory where the towers are made. Where these blades are made I do not know nor if the stand and these blades have anything to do with one and another. They blades weren't turning when I left town probably because the wind was blowing too hard maybe?? They don't look that big until you get up close.
