CN/IC coal train derails in Southern Ilinois, off overpass, onto Interstate 57 below!!!

Read the story here http://www.kfvs12.com/Global/story.asp?S=2018776 . Devastating isn’t it, 1 person got minor injuries, a trucker driving through falling debries.

Do you know what church that trucker attends?

No.

Even though there wernt any serious injurees…god bless the people who got injureed by this inncident.

Wow, there was sure potential there for it to be a LOT worse.

Luckily nobody was killed.

Anyone want to take some coal home?

I’m starting to think that the CN does not like S. Illinois. Didn’t they just have a Haz Mat derailment last year? Tamaroa or something like that.[?][:0]

Yeah, if ya read the article, it mentions that in the last paragraph. [:D]

Man,
luckily no one was killed,hope injuries were not serious.
That REALLY did have the potential to be a VERY bad one!

It was lucky that no body got killed or injured.
But when you hear about a derailment you should ask your self if I had been track side taking photos, would I have be alert enough to get the out of the way or would my last shot been of the car that got me?
Remember railfaning can be a dangerous hobby. Stay alert stay back!!
