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 tankcars laying in the pond/swamp. This derailment has it all. A mile of track ripped up and the need to build a new bridge. Spine Line "Bad Order".

Many work arounds with Iowa shortlines to keep traffic moving. I want to say its an early "MIR Shadow Period" derailment.
