Here is some other information: Dear Customer: At approximately 5:30 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, the QNPSKP 2 train derailed 30 cars near Galt, IL, blocking both mainlines and severely damaging a bridge. Galt, IL, is located approximately 100 miles west of Chicago near Nelson, IL. This derailment will affect all eastbound and westbound Union Pacific traffic currently moving into and out of the Chicago area. As a result, Union Pacific will close the gates at our Intermodal ramps Global I and Global II for all local westbound traffic beginning at 8:00 a.m. CDT on Wednesday, May 4, 2005. We will continue to accept all rubber and steel-wheel intermodal interchange at the Global I and Global II ramps. We are in the process of building temporary trackage around the derailment site until the bridge can be restored to service. Additionally, we are working with other railroads to develop re-route plans around the impacted area. We anticipate a minimum of 48-72 hour delays to all eastbound and westbound traffic into and out of Chicago as a result of this incident. Hope this helps.
