WB CPKC 02H, 2023 Holiday Train, clear Townline at 21:25 Townline is a location that's not on the Detroit District, which probably means this year's train may have been diverted.

Train vs. truck on Wabash in Taylor
The article mentions the incident as occurring on Beech-Daly between Ecorse and Champaign, and that is exactly where the Wabash Line crosses Beech-Daly. What it doesn't mention is whether it was an NS train or a CPKC train that struck the semi. https://www.thenewsherald.com/2023/07/21/train-slams-in...
