Eastern Railroad Discussion > CSX Carey OhioDate: 08/12/19 06:04 CSX Carey Ohio Author: farmer Local TV station reporting train accident with one crew member injured and two roads closed.
Possibly northbound meeting a southbound and northbound didn’t get stopped in time and ran into southbound entering double track. Posted from iPhone Date: 08/12/19 06:09 Re: CSX Carey Ohio Author: Cabin I’m at Marion and I did hear some chatter about a derailment but didn’t hear where
Thanks for the update Cabin Posted from iPhone Date: 08/12/19 09:05 Re: CSX Carey Ohio Author: OHfrog No roads blocked or trains on south side of Carey at the split.
Date: 08/12/19 09:58 Re: CSX Carey Ohio Author: osp1729 My brother lives in Carey, so I asked him to to check out the situation. The derailment is north of Carey near where the double track goes to single track. Clean up crews are on scene and from his photos he sent I could count about six cars off the track. There may be more, but he could only get so close.

Hope the one injured crew member recovers well... Date: 08/12/19 16:16 Re: CSX Carey Ohio Author: toledopatch mp208 Wrote:

It would be bad form for me to scoop the newspaper's coverage, but I certainly recommend clicking that link. The sheriff's report included stuff CSX wouldn't talk about.

It is very hard to stay awake at 5:15 a.m. In the 1960s we would smoke cigars; take off our shoes; stick our heads out the window (in all weather); etc. Anything to stay awake.

I like this line : “ Under normal operations, one of the trains would have waited there for the other to pass.” |
