Derailment east of La Grande
Author: bluesman

Only radio reports for me so far. UP dropped 12 cars off the rails near Hot Lake about 9 miles east of La Grande,OR. early this morning. Oregon Hwy. 203 is closed between La Grande and Union due to possible hazmat concerns.

Were the RDCs in the train? ;^D


No curve there, so UP wasn't testing out it's string-line theory again.
