NS Derailment Alabama East End
Author: NSSpike

Understand there has been a derailment west of Pell City Alabama on the NS Alabama East End District involving west bound train NS 22Q (ATLANTA, GA - NEW ORLEANS, LA)
Have heard 30 cars on the ground???  That has not been confirmed. AMTK 19 into Atlanta shows as a Service Disruption. AMTK 20 has departed New Orleans on time this morning.

No good options for Amtrak to detour. In theory Amtrak could run B'ham-Lagrange-Atlanta over CSX or B'ham-Chattanooga-Atlanta over NS. In good old days it was easy to detour over the ex-SAL (and run faster than on Southern).

It appears there are a large number of cars derailed on this west bound train. Autoracks and stacks. It was just a few weeks over a year ago that east bound manifest 154 derailed several cars in this same community. Traffic didn't return to normal operation level for almost 40 hours back then.
