Western Railroad Discussion > Major Tornado in Jonesboro, ArkansasDate: 03/28/20 16:24 Major Tornado in Jonesboro, Arkansas Author: MSE A major tornado has struck the town of Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Of course, both the BNSF (ex-Frisco) and UP (ex-SSW) serve the city., The Weather Channel says there was a train derailed by the tornado. Does anyone have any additional info? BTW: As of 622p Saturday, if you live in the rose-tined areas you are in a tornado watch.

Two more questions: was it moving? Was there a hazmat spill as The Weather Channel says? jtlarkin Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Facebook shows a Z Train on its side. Long line of > cars.
