Laggan Sub. derailment -- August 3
Author: railsmith

There was a derailment at Mile 129.00 of the Laggan Subdivision on Monday at about 04:00 local time. Only two cars (4th and 5th in train) derailed, and there were no injuries, but that location is inside the Upper Spiral Tunnel, which could make the re-railing work challenging.

This involved an eastbound manifest train (400-01) travelling uphill. The fourth car was a bulkhead flat loaded with utility poles, the fifth an empty hopper.

Does anyone have further information?  How long was the line blocked, etc.?
