Eastern Railroad Discussion > Derailment in Spring City, TNDate: 07/28/16 19:29 Derailment in Spring City, TN Author: dan7366 Chattanooga, TN news outlets are reporting a derailment in Spring City, TN.
Looks like a coal train to me. No report of injuries. Unknown if the depot was damaged. http://newschannel9.com/news/local/train-derailment-in-spring-city-on-main-sthwy-27 http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/32568866/train-derails-in-downtown-spring-city-rhea-co Edited 2 time(s).

https://www.facebook.com/CSquaredPhoto423/videos/1069937883094143/ With this happening in a business district, would love to see surveillance/security camera video of this happening. Date: 07/29/16 19:01 Re: Derailment in Spring City, TN Author: AJnCorrie So that line is fairly busy with some 20-30 odd trains a day...what's become of the other trains...??? Detours...???
Date: 07/29/16 19:29 Re: Derailment in Spring City, TN Author: dan7366 At least 15 trains detoured via the K&O between Harriman and Knoxville to/from Chattanooga.
45R went north to Bristol, then probably Roanoke, before heading west. Also, it's been reported that the CofG is trailing on a ballast train headed for Spring City. Date: 07/29/16 19:31 Re: Derailment in Spring City, TN Author: florida581 AJnCorrie Wrote:

It's indeed a busy line with 30-35 trains a day. The detours are being routed via Knoxville and Cleveland, TN.
