Western Railroad Discussion > Rolling Again . . .

After 2 days of the UP Wagoner Sub being closed at Okay Jct OK due to a coal train derailment that affected traffic from Van Buren AR to Coffeyville KS as well as the use of Okay Jct to move trains from the Wagoner Sub to the Cherokee Sub, the line is open again.

The loaded coal train cars took out hundreds of feet of rail and ties clear down to the ballast in 2 different locations within the train as it came to a grinding halt so there was quite a bit of rebuilding to do.

1. With the line running again, UP 8795-4645-8347-6319 take a huge QNLNP 12 through Sycamore KS on the 14th of July
2. With an unusual sight here in Oklahoma--mid-train DPU
3. Another type train we don't get to see much in Oklahoma was a NW detour IDITA D with UP 4159-7268 with every slot filled with a container as it hustles through Neodasha KS
