Western Railroad Discussion > UP derailment downtown MemphisDate: 01/15/18 12:55 UP derailment downtown Memphis Author: SPMemphisFreight UP eastbound loaded coal going from Harahan Bridge to the CN at Memphis dropped several coal gons on the curve this morning blocking all 4 tracks. This affects all UP and BNSF traffic across the bridge between TN and Arkansas. Cleanup underway, no known eta on reopening, trains holding for now no word on detours.
