a quick google search shows a Derailed Bar & Grill in Proctor, MN, Rensselaer, New York, Milford, UT, Bryson City, NC, and Auburn, AL, all beside railroad tracks. it’s a pretty common name. in fact, there are 162k results for “derailed bar and grill.” so it’s really amazing that trains don’t hit one every time they derail.
