Hi all,
Just wanted to say that we had a small single engine plane crash on the CSX mainline tracks here in Willoughby, Ohio around 5:00am today. The crash killed the pilot and shut down all train traffic for the better part of the day.
Willoughby is about 15 miles east of Cleveland, Ohio.
This is about ½ mile from my house and a very populated area. By the plain crashing on the tracks, it saved many house and lives.
It will most probably on the news tonight.

I wonder how CSX track maintenance will be blamed for this accident on CSX property?
Maybe the pilot decloaked at the last moment and was blinded by
the lack of attenion…it is funny ?
stay safe

Supposedly the authorities allerted the road, however I wonder if the completed circuit dropped the signals?
I had to deal with that crap all day yesterday. This guy was an arial photographer flying from cleveland to dayton to pick up some equipment.
hey the jacksonville dispatch was having fun too. a csx eastbound set off a defect detector 4 times.
stay safe

Jeez, seems like things have been busy lately.
Ya it did disrupt service for a little bit but remember someone is NOT going home to their family anymore.
