BNSF Derailment South of Frisco, TX
Posted by cordon on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 12:12 PM

A little excitement here a couple days ago (14 Jun). A southbound rock train derailed right next to the TXI plant at Camey, Milepost 690 on the BNSF Madill Subdivision, near the intersection of SH 121 and Spring Creek Parkway (33 deg 5.30 min N, 96 deg 51.44 min W). Here is a news report -

BNSF had to park at least two trains nearby overnight.

The RR re-opened the line yesterday at about noon with a 10-MPH restriction.
