NS almost duplicates a CSX accident.
Posted by blue streak 1 on Friday, April 1, 2016 5:49 PM

A NS freight with 3 locos passed over a tressel that was washing out but 20 cars behind locos derail into creek in Opelika, AL. This is similar to the CSX dropping 2 locos into a creek in NC..  We have had copious amounts of rain around here with flash flood alerts and warnings.

This route is the NS  Central of Georgia route from Birmingham - Columbus, GA.  Where the washout is in relation to the underpass of CSX AWP sub is unknown.
