Another derailment in Pocatello, for the second time in two weeks. About 20 cars, mostly corn. Good times!

It's hard to blame the roadmaster when PSR cuts back on MOW personnel, track inspections, and maintenance.  Track problems can also be caused by a rough winter and the temperature swings that happen this time of year.

Actually, it's VERY easy to blame the roadmaster or even somebody from BNSF, Delta Airlines, or Dairy Queen. And far likelier than top management acknowledging their policies are causing problems.

Considering the position no longer exists, I'd have to agree.

Second time in EIGHT DAYS at Pocatello.

Anybody have the car count ? I'll bet this was another three-mile long UP WonderTrain.
