CSXT Essexville DeRailMent 03/28/2005

Unread post by patrick »

Well folks, they did it again! CSXT put an N955 train on the ground. Locomotives 729 and 364? The shortlines board says 4 cars derailed. I say 3 cars dumped (loads) and a total of 7 cars bad ordered due to derailment damage. they are as follows:

PSTX 8238
FSTX 5505
ESCX 6039 THESE THREE WERE DUMPED EITHER VIA THE ACTUAL DERAILMENT OF BY HULCHERS.

FSTX 5579
ESCX 6115
PSTX 8133
PSTX 7257 THESE CARS ALL WEAR A BAD ORDER TAG

The HESR main was ripped out in the derailment process ( or burried in coal, it did look to be gone though) There were sever HESR people on site, and the speculation is that the HESR will be getting its coal traffic bad this week. Its just speculation so don't noone post a crab on this subject.

Csxt was heard telling their yardmaster that the main would be out of service untill tomorrow. The spot that the train derailed in is widely known for being a super wet spot and it was expected to have a derailment a long time ago.
