Train Wreck in Momence, Illinois

I'm just glad the wreck didn't cause any serious injuries or deaths. I've run on the Up from Woodland Jct to Chicago and I know the Momence interlocking to be an automatic one. I'd hate to think the UP crew assumed they'd get the signal and realized too late that they weren't. <br />I heard about this T-Bone at work today and the rerouting of CSX traffic has already begun. Northounds will come from Evansville, go east to Terre Haute and go east towards Indy and beyond. The intermodal stack trains cannot run up the Monon or the Crawfordsville because of height restrictions, so they will have to run all the way to Marion, OH up to Willard and then back west towards Chicago. I belive if any freight is rerouted it will be able to use the Monon or Crawfordsville dependent on the number of Lafayette crews available. Vice Versa for southbounds. All I know is work will be interesting tomorrow.
