Oh, OK, right where the CN line through the tunnel diverges off of BNSF then- ouch, something must've picked a switch?

No, East Cabin is about 1/3 mile to the east of the tunnel, right along Rt. 20 and just before Rt. 20 curves around to cross the Mississippi river bridge into Dubuque, IA.

10 car derailment in front of the former East Cabin tonight (7:00pm).  Hazmat on the scene.  Cannot get near sight but from the US 20 bridge you can see cars on their side.
