Ok so how many derailments does this make for the CN in the last few months on the former
"Good Track Road"?? Heck, even the last few years. Way to many to count.

Were any underwear changes required in the station ?
That looks pretty close to me.

Great looking station in the background, is it still in use?

Yes, Amtrak's International (Chicago-Toronto) stops here daily. This was the engine westbound on May 19, 2001, stopped at the station. (my photo)

This is a view out the second story "tower" of the station (seen in one of the original post's pictures), looking west towards the general area where the derailment occured. (May 19, 2001 - my photo)

I used to railfan in Potterville where the CN went off thisa year. I can't remember a derailment in all those years as GTW. Now that it is CN, it seems that is all you hear from the former Good Track Road

Jim,

Isn't the view to the north? The GT double-track runs east-west thru Durand. (A former Fenton-ite.)
