| Title: |
BNSF/UP Derailment at South Mesler on the UP Chester Sub. |
| Description: |
This is a shot of what was all was going on. These are the details as told by a UP MOW worker from Dupo, IL: The BNSF crew aboard this train, a southbound grain train 9GTIGVJ 04, thought they were on a 2 mile long siding. UP northbound train KMNOA 07 was moving north with the tail end over the switch. The BNSF train rounded the curve to find the end of the siding and the UP train occupying it, they tried to stop, but they failed to. After running the red signal they plowed into spine cars and rolled off into the ditch. Grain cars spilled huge piles of the commodity. SSW signals and control point cabinets were knocked off and/or dented up, looks like a couple jobs guys could get fired, but I really don't know. Craig Meador alerted me about this, he got to fly over it, see his photos here: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=185123 . R.J. Corman and Hulcher Emergency Services were called in to help cleanup. |

Derailed BNSF Locomotives in the Bean Field |
| Description: |
Last night they just wanted to restore the mainline, they straight railed the switch points, torched off the rail that was destroyed that led to the switch where the units went off, picked up those units and set them down in the edge of the soybean field (telling BNSF they will get to them when they get to them, and knocking down about an acre of the farmer's beans). |

This unit was sitting with the Dash-9, it was on it's side yesterday. Sorry that this picture is a little fuzzy, shooting into the sun played a trick on my little camera. |
