Coal Train |
| Description: |
This was coal train symbol 2CNAAE 27 headed for AE at New Madrid. (That's pronounced New Mad-rid [like "angry" and "get rid of"], not Muh-drid like the one in Spain.) |

Wow, UP is actually going to run a northbound grain train up the De Soto Sub. I got up close and personal with this train, when the train came around the curve I walked towards the yellow line, when I looked at the train again I thought, "Oh shit, I'd better back up, he's on Main Track 1 and going up the De Soto!" The engineer honked twice and the crew waved, because we still do that here. |

Train Derailment in the Yard |
| Description: |
As this manifest pulled in this morning around 4 A.M., an engine split a switch and derailed 2 of it's 3 locomotives and the first 2 cars, both of them tank cars, the rail rolled over under the derailed cars and engines. Hulcher was called in, I saw their lights on the tracks and their trucks in the yard when we came over the viaduct, I knew it couldn't be good. Here, at 6:33 P.M., about 14 hours after it happened, cleanup is almost complete. One sideboom has just begun lifting the tank car hauling "a volatile liquid" according to Union Pacific Railroad Special Agent Steve Ray. The other sideboom is moving down the tracks to assist. The blurred headlights down the road are UP Managers in a Dodge Truck. They have just rerailed both locomotives. |
