BNSF derailment near DeSoto WI

Talk about a bad place to cleanup a derailment...an island. Before they can begin on the derailment they got to haul 500 dumptrucks of fill gravel/rock

in the swamp between the road and the tracks. Mississippi River at flood stage but not over the tracks. Perhaps a soft spot under the tracks. Not mentioned

I'm guessing this a Z train with 3-units up front and could be a pair of DPU's on the rear. Seems a lot of excessive from behind to cause the accordian.

We shall find out what happened together.

If the mess started suddenly the rear would certainly come crashing in.

I wonder if that's some of the territory that Briz worked when he took the temporary transfer. Tu bad Briz isn't around to tell us.
