I drove out this morning to try and have a look. The place was surrounded with police, there was no way anyone was getting near the wreck.
Ended up seeing a few CP detours over CN, but couldn't shoot them. Shot some ordinary CN stuff at Coteau. Hopefully tomorrow I'll hear something on the scanner and I'll get at least one shot of CP ridin' CN rails.

I only noticed today when I saw the newsletter with a familiar photo thumbnail...
Congrats on being the reader submission for this edition Tyler - it's a cool shot!
That wreck does look pretty nasty, Alex. Any idea how long it took CP to clean up the mess?
Going back a little ways in the discussion - I agree with your assessment of Jack London Square, Tyler. From a train perspective it was neat, but when I was there it really didn't seem like any sort of a happening commercial district like they make it sound. There weren't many people around even when I was there back in 2007. We did catch a flurry of train activity when we were there though, including a rolling meet (well, really more an overtaking) of a BNSF freight and a commuter train on the street running:

It's the only place I've ever been able to catch something like that.

Wreck occurred Thursday night, and they got 1 track open Monday afternoon.
Just dropping in to inform those who may have not seen it yet, but there was a fairly nasty wreck on the former DM&IR near Highland, north of Two Harbors a few days ago. Head on collision between a NB empty and a SB load of pellets. Five injured, two released soon after, two other remain in the hospital.
Well i finally found some time to catch up on pictures from the last month or two. Football has been keeping me busy & so forth being tired a lot i haven't had much time to work on pics. We go back to August 23rd in Neenah I see a SB departing so i get to Kampo rd & it happens to be 576 & it has a new 2100 unit trailing NB he set out at 251 so i got him again at Cecil St he blocked the main so i had to do a wrong side shot of 199 We go back to September 1st now September 1st was my last day of vacation & i decided to enjoy it well so i decided to go to my favorite spot, Weyauwega. First up is the NB 415 from Green Bay, i decided only to shoot the rear unit for some reason Next up was 199 Then the catch of the day then another good catch Then i decided to give these guys a chase up to Amherst & i had heard that the NB was gonna change crews at Oakland rd outside of Waupaca, i haven't shot here yet so i figured give it a try. Then i get a surprise at Amherst The Meet I did go into Sheridan & tried shooting them at one of the back roads & this is what i got I Then headed west to Stevens Point just to see if anything was lined up & the SB 416 with the same power i saw earlier left which i wont post since you already saw the power. Now we go to September 26th I had been given a heads up of a NB coal train which i want to get as much as possible before they shift over to UP & wont be on the Neenah Sub anymore so while im out i get a Few surprises. SB 346 Mid Trains Once they were locked in the siding the NB 703 comes up the Hill The DPU Thats all i have, hopefully in the next few weeks i will be able to get out more.
