This is crazy! My fiance called this morning and told me and I thought he was pulling my leg. We have a plant tour booked this Friday. I just can't believe the museum is still open. Glad the 83 was saved.

Just saw a list of the affected cars.A nd I read on the net of the 83 which I don't remember. Sad thing to have happen to any of them but I agree that removing the 83 was a good idea since that one is irreplaceable.

This is cave country folks. Mammoth Cave and several smaller caverns are within a 30 or 40 mile radius of Bowling Green. Most of the underlying rock in this area is limestone and easily eroded away by water. Caves and sinkholes are common here.

I was just there a few months ago and I remember the cars that were reported as lost. Hopefully some of them can be recovered and repaired. It's a good thing the dome wasn't full of people and nobody got hurt!
Sinkholes can be caused by moving ground water, leaky water mains or sewer lines.
