BNSF Northern Arizona Derailment Clean Up
Permalink  
 

At Williams AZ and its a mess. 23 cars all loaded auto racks and vehicles spilling out the ends. Going to be costly as the BNSF Transcon is shut for a couple days.

They are cleaning up the derailment at a brisk pace made easier by a place to set aside the derailed cars. Rebuild a mile or more of track. In the TO story the 

23 derailed cars were right behind the mid-train DPU's. There were DPU's on the rear of this monster train too. The train was jinxed I think as it had a knuckle issue/s

in Flagstaff as it happened twice blocking Flagstaff traffic for and hour and a half. I'm quick to blame to blame DPU's for most derailments these days of the mega

manifests and double trains. Your rear DPU's sometimes 3 miles behind the head power. Be interesting to find out what happened.
