Hi Don,
did you ever hear about the train wreck in marathon where all the boldts of fabric rolled out
all over like giant toilet paper rolls - it was grey flannel and plaid skirting - it was soiled
so they let the town women run off with it - and that year the highschool graduating class
 either had on plaid skirts or grey flannel suiting material to wear.
I actually have a piece of it - got it at a rummage sale and one of the old time lady sewers
confirmed that was what it was.........the day the fabric boldts rolled on out of the cars and down the
tracks.............
there was another time when a cattle car here turned over - but you dont want to know
about that one - they got like wild cowboys running around shooting the poor things........
