This will add to the mess in our area...CSX can't win a break.

Is it our mess or the NS?

Possible however, no word on if there is a derailment and, it may not be a track condition if there is one. Could be a defect on the car too, just saying...Also, business is way up and the lasting effect from this past winter. One would think that that issue would be miles behind them by now.

Good thing it was not an ethanol train...

My source just corrected himself, says T912 (loads) is the train that derailed.

Is the NS Wabash line affected at all?

They are starting to park trains on the New Castle Sub, Q015 is parking at Warwick, Q389 is parking at Sterling and cutting off the power and taking the engines Willard.

I'm still confused..is it on CSX or NS?
Thanks

It's on CSX. Unsure at this point if the diamond has been affected.

Piled up in interlocking and diamond is blocked.

Why Homeland Security?

Homeland Security has to have something to do this month or year.

Wonder if they meant Emergency Management.
