Matt and I got a heads up that q 507 derailed in Deshler.They lost the last 5 cars in the train.RJ corman and Hulcher are both working today.The derailment almost took out a cpl canteliver signal bridge at Marion street.well keep you posted. stay safe Joe
Unfortunately, that’s another CPL that bites the dust. Not too many left.
Not that the derailment was a good thing otherwise. At least it appears it was on the NS single track, not the E-W main, which would have had repercussions for quite some distance.
The CPL appears to still be up and functional. And, judging from one picture I saw (thanks, Joe!), that derailment came within feet (inches?) of taking out the diamond.
just glad no one got hurt
stay safe

Losing the diamond might have been catastrophic.
One can only hope it took out the stupid fire pit.
Reports on Facebook indicate that it’s intact.
well the pit does get abused sometimes but as far as Matt and I go we clean it out and have clean wood and roast hot dogs and make smores when we camp out there.
stay safe

From what I hear happens in that pit… I will pass on the hot dogs.
Just Curious Zug…What does go on in that pit. Since you are from PA, and Joe is from Defiance…it would not seem like you would be the closest source of info!

some people burn thier bags,pizza boxes etc etc in the pit.They also sometimes burn treated lumber in the pit too. We just clean out the ashes and then we have our own firewood to use for cooking.There is a grill available at the park to use as well.The park has had a bad reputation with some people but some of us are working to make it a better place to stop and watch trains.
stay safe
