BNSF derailment Palermo ND

From what I can gather a Ztrain derailment of 40 cars on the BNSF High Line Transcon. Remote area and no video currently. Amtrak service halted on each side.

This derailment with Venus square Neptune exact. My guess something broke.

I did find a story with a picture of the Ztrain derailment. The nature of the railroad tracks elevated across a
1000 miles of ND/MT above the farmland. So when a derailment happens it all ends up down in some farmers
field making it easy to repair tracks in short order. In fact the line now open again. Ztrain cargo usually high
priority and maybe precious. Fedex/UPS TOFC. Shippers with contracts for on time delivery and now their
shipment is a casualty. Venus square Neptune as either the insurance companies have to pay or the BNSF
will have to pay depending on the cause of the derailment.

Site of train derailment west of Minot reopens to train traffic, cleanup continues (kfyrtv.com)
