The total derailment, per the BNSF initial service advisory was 35 cars. 10 went over on their side, the rest did an accordian job. Took only about 14 hrs to clear it. It was an empty intl. stack train from LPC (Chicago/Joliet) to So. Cal. Unfortunatey its still single track at Belle Plaine, but they used the Avard cut off to get around it with some Z trains. See below- the version on their website now says 16 cars. <br /> <br />UP had a blow over a day later in Arkansas. <br /> <br />On the UP (former CNW), the Omaha dispatchers still have wind speed read outs for a number of locations including the old Kate Shelly bridge near Boone/Ames IA. <br /> <br /> http://newdomino.bnsf.com/website/updates.nsf/updates-service-consumer/7987573BDB2957D3862571690051D336?Open <br />Back Customer Updates Home <br /> <br />Customer Updates are designed to inform BNSF customers of new developments or changes <br />relating to BNSF products, services, tools, prices or facilities. <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />05/09/2006 <br /> <br />Derailment - Belle Plain, Kansas <br /> <br /> <br />At 3:40 a.m. CT on Tuesday, May 9, 2006, train S LPCLUB1 07 derailed 16 cars blocking the single main track at Belle Plain, KS.
