380 is shown as having a service disruption. "Overdue" at Galesburg. #381 operating only to Macomb today from Chicago.

381 terminating at Macomb is for planned track work. 380 however is trapped in West Quincy due to a freight derailment over night.

Yep an eastbound train derailed at the wye between the river bridge and the yard. Since Amtrak lays over at the West Quincy yard it's blocked in until the mess is cleaned up

It was a westbound train that derailed, saw it when I went to work at 6:30AM, power was just shy of the yard office. 12 cars on ground at East switch of the wye. WGEM TV has drone footage.

Thanks. I didn’t see the power in the news footage so I assumed it was an eastbound with the power on the bridge
