Video shows explosions... apparently it hit a car then hit a switch heater which exploded then took down some power lines Posted from iPhone Date: 06/06/19 21:02 Re: NS Chicago line derailment Author: dbo2 I can confirm it now too. NS Elkhart Desk dispatcher informed an already very late Amtrak #30 (10:57 PM CDT - just passing Chesterton, IN) that NS 25Z hit a vehicle at Swanton and it was "pretty bad". Passengers will be bused from Bryan, OH and a crew member on #30 claims to have people traveling "all over the place".

I didn't post the link not knowing if I could, but search it out. It's incredible.
Rich S Date: 06/07/19 03:33 Re: NS Chicago line derailment Author: howeld Video of the hit on FB will be circulating around. Train was moving every bit of 60mph hits the car and few seconds later power flashes and goes out. Can’t hear or see the derailment on the video.

Shows power derailed leaning but upright. Must have a hellish ride. Posted from iPhone Date: 06/07/19 05:39 Re: NS Chicago line derailment Author: BigDave Any clues on what to search for on YouTube? Not finding it.
