According to police, a CSX train derailed near Monroe Central High School at around 3 p.m. Wednesday. No injuries were reported at the scene and the train was hauling empty containers. A train crossing was destroyed on County Road N. 1000 W., the road is expected to be closed through Thursday morning as CSX workers clear the site. CSX had not informed police why the train derailed and the cause of the derailing was still being determined.

Snippy pheels the urge to call them and let them know the proper term for that container train is:

"single stack hopper train"

According to our fine friends at Drainoders...:

http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?2,3833274

Randolph County officials were responding Wednesday afternoon to a 16-car train derailment that had closed one county road.
Sheriff Ken Hendrickson said Randolph County Road 1000-W, which runs directly east of Monroe Central Jr-Sr. High School, would be closed for several hours.
The sheriff said nine of the 16 cars -- which were empty coal cars -- were off the tracks and on their sides near the crossing. Seven other cars remained upright but were considered derailed, he said.

 

Train was E497-31. Old hoppers going to scrapper. A friend saw this train in western Ohio a short time before this train derailed. He posted to Facebook "WB empty square wheel wobble express CSX white coal hopper train going by Ansonia, Oh"
 
 

 whenever there's a derailment 3 departments bounce back and forth pointing fingers at who's responsible ... operations, mechanical and MW ... this one sounds like mechanical will be biting the bullet for this debacle ...
