Wow, just heard the news. A BN eastbound coal train from Wyoming to a power plant just across state lines reportedly derailed this morning at 4 a.m. SBD on CN tracks, just under the freeway, near 16th st. and roosevelt. I guess nobody was hurt but a couple loads of coal were dumped and Metra Rock Island trains were disrupted for morning service. And to think, so close to home. That little BN yard on western avenue that this train comes through and crewchanges at is a favorite spot of mine. This train's a daily and I used to see it all the time, I wonder what made it derail? I assume it was at the crossover...Anybody got any info on this?
