Some news coverage:   <A href="http://www.rrstar.com/news/publicsafety/x998780895/Train-derails-Railway-given-21-minute-warning">http://www.rrstar.com/news/publicsafety/x998780895/Train-derails-Railway-given-21-minute-warning</A> <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Apparently there were several 911 calls from the public reporting an obvious washout prior to the wreck.  A squad was dispatched to the scene and the washout was video taped.  I gather the washout was not developed enough to derail the train until much of it had passed over it.  I assume that the passing locomotives and cars further deteriorated the track support that had been compromised by the washout.  Perhaps CN did not react quick enough, but we don’t know exactly what part of CN the police called.  I wonder what, if anything, the engineer felt as the locomotive crossed the washout.
