Loaded grain derailment Richland WA
Author: OrionRail

Tri-City Railroad put one on the ground in the Delta Refuge near the Yakima River bridge. Photos and video show at least eight derailed BNSF grain hoppers, some spilled grain, and substantial damage to the tracks.

The article really shows how great drones are to get a view of what is happening at the scene.

Dont know why they would close off either street as it just caused problems nothing close to either one.

Actually it was a BNSF crew, TCRY doesn't operate trains on the line anymore.

I thought TCRY was still operating for UP traffic?
