On Thursday (07/08/2010)  five miles NW of Onaga,Kansas a Union Pacific Coal train derailed 43 cars of a train from the PRB in Wyoming going to a receiver in Southeastern Missouri.

The video linkd here is a pretty good quality and shows a lot of details. [There is one picture of an County (Pottawatomie) Emergency Director] and over his shoulder is an elderly UP RR end door boxcar( at one time its type was used to transport automobiles).

Linked here is video:
