NS derailment in Champaign County IL

[gradyo54]

I just returned from the site of the derailment in Sadorus Il. Trains are moving past the site of the wreck at about 10 mph. all of the wreckage except 3 hi-cube cars have been removed and the remainder of the train is sitting in the town of sadorus. This line serves about 80-90 trains a day on the busy Automotive artery between Ft.Wayne and K.C. This must have been quite a mess to clean up in the near zero degree temps. we are having in central IL. Hulcher still had a dozer and a portable light plant at the scene as of 10:00 am centeral time. This is not far from the site of a major train wreck on the NS line in the early 90's
