Freight train hit somebody walking on the track somewhere(?) around Shedd/Tangent. (north of Eugene) Many freights were held and at least one tied up. #500 couldn't get through. BNSF has a derailment in the Vancouver Yard. #11 is (was?) being held in Seattle. Some Cascades being detoured through the yard. #27 was delayed also. (I was told all of this and it doesn't add up. Only thing I'd be certain of is the derailment.) jb Date: 07/26/08 12:22 Re: Late Trains Today Author: MP733 Both mains blocked just north on Vancouver depot. Talgos detouring through yard & using the Empire Builder platform. #27 was delayed leaving Spokane, not by the derailment. Haven't heard about #11 but guessing they were held until more was known about derailment & detouring.
