2 UP crew members died in this accident. Near as I can put things into order a UP train heads into a siding with railcars/MOW occupying the siding and crashes into it. To crash hard with sitting equipment this UP train had to be doing 30mph. This is on the UP "Sunset Route" with CTC and signaled Control poi...

If this aint the messiest derailment ever. Remote area where you need to make new roads to get to derailment. My guess the bridge failed to cause this derailment. 44 cars derailed and a destroyed bridge on the ex-Rock Island "Spine Line" from Twin Cities to Des Moines. Below the damaged bridge is tankc...

I guess derailments happen in "two's" at UP Pocatello. This one 20 cars of corn derailed at an important part of the yard. It could be good for the pet food industry as the spillage may still be good for critter food. Way ahead of myself. Venus conjunct Uranus almost exact is what you put on your "delay rep...

I'm surprised nobody at TO mentioned this rather spectacular derailment I think starting with a hopper car in a long train crossing Santa Fe Jct has lost its front set of trucks or the truck is ripping up railroad track on the other side. Not a good scenario as its just a matter of time/distance before "i...

Camanche Iowa. Its interesting that my family tree had to set up in Comanche Country of Iowa for a year or 2 back in 1870's.

UP south of Big Sandy. I've watched trains past the Big Sandy diamond (ex-SSW ex-Mopac) and they are all giants taking about 10 minutes to pass. This is a "double train" with the mid-train DPU's the lead power for the 2nd train. Pretty common practice on UP. I've been noticing more derailments from the...

Kind of hard to tell what caused this derailment. Lots of rolling stock damaged and spilt grain which has value.

I'm guessing another situation/derailment where the DPU's a mile back dint recieve critical radio wave communications from lead locomotive and kept doing its thing which is "keep on shoving".
