Another Major Derailment
Posted by Willy2 on Sunday, February 1, 2004 5:18 PM
Today another BNSF coal train derailed. This train derailed in Ashland Nebraska. The train derailed only 15 miles away from Plattsmouth Nebraska where a coal train derailed only 2 weeks ago. This derailment was on the same line as the one in Plattsmouth too. Thankfully, nobody was injured in this derailment.

Wasn't there another derailment on the ex Waterlevel Route about a month ago a few miles from this one?

BNSF has been having a few derailments lately, but I have to give them credit. They haul all those heavy coal trains over that line and there are few derailments. I live on the same line about 100 miles away and I have been to Ashland many times. The tracks are fairly good there, considering there's a grade to the west and all.
