&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Unintended condensation caused the car <a href="http://www.binscorner.com/pages/t/train-wrecks.html#" target="_blank">full</a> of vapors to collapse upon itself (implode):&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;The general-purpose tank car in the photo below was being steam&nbsp; cleaned in preparation for maintenance. The job was still in progress at&nbsp; the end of the shift so the employee cleaning the car decided to block&nbsp; in the steam. The car had no vacuum relief so as it cooled, the steam&nbsp; condensed and the car imploded.&quot; Keep in mind that steam has around 1600&nbsp; times the volume of condensed water - also see the video!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
