The Coal train that derailed in bridgeport, Nebraska this last Wenseday? Heard it on the radio when i was driving through the area, seems it derailed and dumped 20 tons of coal on the ground, no one was hurt, but other than that I have no details as to what RR or why it occured.
That’s not a lot of coal, considering the typical coal car carries 120 tons… must not have been much of a derailment.

Ok, ya got me, well guess there was some radio errors, 20 cars, not 20 tons and some injuries and both lines damaged, that explaines the multitude of trains I saw an hour away backed up and stopped.
