Western Railroad Discussion > Heads up Kansas:Date: 03/17/23 11:06 Heads up Kansas: Author: santafe199 Due to a minor switching derailment in S Topeka (near Pauline) both #3 & #4 are way late. #3 is finally running and should be by Emporia easily by 1:30 CDT. #4 hasn’t left Osage City yet, and may be waiting to be re-crewed. No other info available…

The fact that he lives there might have something to do with it, just a little.... Date: 03/17/23 13:51 Re: Heads up Kansas: Author: mpe383 Here is news coverage and some pics from the derailment on the BNSF Topeka sub. The derailment involved a local job that switches several factories south of Topeka. Specifically, the train was switching the Mars (yes, M&M candy) factory when the derailment occurred. The same train also works the large Frito Lay (Doritos and potatoe chips etc) plant.
