It's actually hdnews.net, as far as I know the KP is STILL shut down, three work trains are called out of Salina tomorrow to run to Oakley.

What I heard today is that trains will detour via Cheyenne - Greeley Sub and Gibbon Cutoff for at least a couple more days.

Any indication of why the elevator collapsed? Grain explosion? faulty materials? Lack of maintenance? I'm not sure who would investigate--I don't think there's an NTSB for grain storage facilities.

Luke,
What kind of work trains? There's only one there and it went thru here at 9:00 am this morning.
