BNSF Eola Yard mishap
Posted by eolafan on Sunday, March 6, 2005 11:30 AM
Yesterday I was railfanning at the BNSF Eola Yard area and heard an exchange on my scanner between a track crew foreman and the yardmaster at Eola and the foreman was aking the yardmaster if he knew if two engines were coupled together in a certain sequence during a "mishap" that happened the night before in the area (that would have been the night of 3/4). Anybody know or have heard about this?

Didn't know of anything that happened on Friday, but I did hear a stack train derailed in the yard earlier in the week and lost one of its containers.
