UP derailment in Missouri

[Anonymous]

Yes, the scattered locomotive parts are being loaded into gondolas, and the bodies of the totaled locomotives are to be hauled away on flatcars, which are currently present at the site.
There is a lot of scrap like traction motors and metal shreads, as well as axles just lying around, probably to be put into the gondolas.

It's o.k., I had to clear out my inbox, and I found your e mails, sorry. I did reply, I'll try to send you some pictures, if I can get the stupid disk to work!

Ok, as I said I made a mistake which EVERYONE here has done!

Today, Monday, January 21st, the local came and picked up the gondolas full of engine shreads. The un-totaled engines had their couplers replaced and were towed away earlier, by another local. The totaled engines still remain on site, resting on the track.

So they are still only using the one main there now?

Both mainlines are open at a limit of 40 mph. The totaled engines are located on the west end of the UP silica mine siding.

There is another one! This was on BNSF's cuba Sub. It happened near milepost 70, or west of sullivan. 20 cars derailed out of over a hundred. The train was mixed freight, probably a Tulsa-Galesburg freight. Does anyone else have anymore information?

brian,
Is there a websight where I can view the photos of the Pacific wreck?

There used to be the week after it happened, but now I don't know if any still exist.

do you know the flatcar numbers? I wanted to track where they go. Any luck with the digital pictures?

Thanks

I'll try and get the flatcar numbers before they haul them off. The local moved them onto the west siding to be ready for the long run on the next local. I'll try to get out there in time! No luck so far with the pictures though, I've got an idea I'm going to try that I think will work.

Hopefully the leftovers from the wreck are headed to Jenks. Where one might be able to see them...
Send me the pictures when you can... I will make it worth the effort. I will communicate that content off line and not on Trains.com.

I couldn't catch the flatcars in time, however, pictures are comming!

Brian,

Lemme know when you have the pics ready, and where to get them at. UP trains go through here everyday, and this was the first I had heard about any derailment when I seen your post. Didn't really notice it, because they have been running on schedule. Course, maybe where I live, it didn't get noticed. I am 20 miles from Jeff City. I also responded to your reply to my BNSF yard problem. Thanks again!
