Roanoke derailment update

[NW Mailing List]

Train update: My wife texted to say she heard some loud cruching sounds
from the work area,  and missed the details of the NS crew getting the
wheels put back on track. The train seems to be moving now.

Her downtown office is on the corner opposite the tracks. So clearly this
was just a little incident and I can't find any of the local media even
mentioning it. Speeds of locomotives going through that crossing are
typically very slow, which might account for the minimal damage. She said
it looked like two wheels were off the track as she walked by. It was on a
slight curve near the shops. I'm curious now as to what caused the problem.
