Derailment on BNSF Ottumwa Sub
Author: Agent

A BNSF train derailed this morning at the Monroe Wapello Road crossing south of Eddyville, Iowa.  Railroad-wise, that's west of Chillicothe and east of Albia.  Looks like a semi tractor t-boned an empty coal train.  About twenty cars were derailed from what I've read.  There's one photograph with this article: https://www.ottumwaradio.com/trail-derailment-shuts-down-t61/.  Sounded like the train's crew was okay over the radio.

Amtrak #6 was holding west of the site for a couple hours, but has just made it by according to Track A Train.
