Western Railroad Discussion > UP derailment at Eugene, Ore.

I just saw a couple pictures on the Pacific Northwest Group of Facebook..   Shows 8 to 14 cars on the ground, several on their sides including a tank car..   Hazmat is probably involved..

Wow, two Brooklyn dub derailments in one weekend!

Can you post a photo or link?

I can't find any mention on the local news sites but I checked police and fire call logs and they show multiple dispatches at 5 pm. Based on location (Roosevelt and Garfield) I suspect this happened in the yard or going around the Coos Bay Wye and was a low speed derailment. 

-----------------

Never mind - it finally got posted on one of the local news sites. Appears to be on the "Engine Lead", 12 cars, only load that spilled was a car of grain.
