Happened Wed or Thur. Pics on the Early bird tracks. That's all I have via a FB group.

Judging by the damage to the loco, it hit at a pretty good speed. The snow is undisturbed, so the hopper may have been empty, but that could be a coal pile on the left, in the distance. That hopper may have slid a 100 yards or more. It's interesting that the ground isn't torn up anywhere around the hopper.

I have other pics that show the cars were loaded. The engine pic looks post rerailing.

darn... Anyone got the full story yet? That was a hell of a hit.

Fox 28 reported that a coal train from Chicago to the DTE Monroe Mi plant derailed in north west IN on friday . That's all I have found so far.

Well at least the headlight still works..

Doesn't appear that the track was damaged?
