Southbound KCS Grain Train Derailment
Title:  Southbound KCS Grain Train Derailment
Description:  One of the "Belle Hop" Grain Trains derailed 8 loads of wheat late last week here on the KCS Pittsburg Sub. near MP 48 south of the 315th Street Crossing, which is at MP 48.17. They are laying in the edge of a Sunflower Field next to the ROW. Quite a mess. I highly doubt any of the covered hopper cars will be salvaged, as most of them look like the car on the left, so I figure they might all be scrap candidates. Most of the ARI Cars involved were built in April 2007, only 5 months old. The mainline is in the foreground, this view is looking northeast. The derailment was probably caused by a rolled rail in the curve. There were no injuries.
