QUOTE: Originally posted by william6 I heard on my car radio(AM station) on Monday, April 18, that there was a derailment of several (6?) coal cars at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa on the BNSF line that normally carries the CZ between Chicago and Omaha, NE. I was in my car on US #34 highway when an SUV went around me that was clearly marked BNSF Police. He was eastbound and I'm guessing he was headed to Mt. Pleasant. This was about 10 AM. Also haven't seen or heard any trains on that line for a day now, but should be open soon, I'd think. Wm6

The coal train, the CCDMRTR-8 bound from Cordero in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin to a power station at Ru***ower, Mo., derailed 11 of its 130 cars at 6:35 a.m. Monday on BNSF’s Ottumwa Subdivision, blocking both mainline tracks. There were no injuries and no hazmat concerns. Amtrak train No. 6 of the 16th, bound from the Emeryville, Calif., in the San Francisco Bay area, to Chicago, was terminated at Ottumwa, Iowa, on Monday, and its passengers bused the last 310 miles to the Windy City, according to spokesmen from both BNSF and Amtrak. The train’s westbound counterpart, No. 5 originating in Chicago, was detoured via Union Pacific from Chicago to Omaha on the former Chicago & North Western “Overland Route” main line. The BNSF tracks were reopened early this morning.[:p][:D][:)] Originally posted by BNSF railfan.
