A few years ago this happened to the pedestal jaw on a prox tankcar due to a brittle fracture from a casting defect, and the fractured piece broke off (look it up in Reflexions magazine).This seems to have occured on the car's trainling face, but fortunately nothing pre serious happened. Anyway, great catch and thanks for sharing!
