Chris30 The train that derailed just west of Fort Madison, IA was an eastbound UP train headed for Global 4. I heard that the westbound Chief detoured from Galesburg to Quincy and then west to KC (?). CC

Looks like the train put some cars on the ground right at a trailing point switch to an industrial spur heading south.
MONTROSE — A train, initially believed to be a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train, derailed about 11;25 a.m. Monday across from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.According to Andy Williams, who works in public affairs for BNSF, although it is true there was a derailment from a BNSF track, the train did not belong to the company.
“That train was just on our tracks,” Williams said. “It actually belonged to Union Pacific. It was headed eastbound.”..........
