NS 34E derailment, South Bend.

[Jochs]

I'm reading reports on Facebook of 34E derailing at CP 437, but no further info on how bad the derailment was.
I'll add info later as it becomes available.
Feel free to add any info as well.

Possibility that any Amtrak trains take the senic route through Michigan?

48 going via Garrett, should be to Deshler in the next couple hours.

49/29 are combined, and just went through Deshler at 0850 ET, per live video by the folks at Deshler Crossroads Park. Private varnish on the rear, lotta rare mileage today!

ATCS shows three switches out of correspondence at CP437.

Two are right where the GTW crosses, the third strangely is the switch from the GTW to the Kanakee Belt. Only thing I can think of why this switch is affected would be a cut wire to the switch.

Looks like they have been sticking derailment related items in the industrial lead off 448

I believe 34E is a Burns Harbor, IN - Elkhart, IN manifest.
