CSX Off the Tracks

[ALC Rail Writer]

CSX struck again in NE Ohio. And by 'struck' I mean they struck another one of their trains...

NEWTON FALLS -- The derailment was at Center and Jay streets.
Just after 7 a.m. Monday, anyone living within 500 feet of the derailment had been asked to leave their homes.

Trumbull County Emergency Management Agency Director Linda Beil said no injuries were reported in the derailment, located about 20 miles northwest of Youngstown.

Full story here...

Thankfully west of PGH Amtrak operates pretty much on NS track, which I have always noted as being of a better quality.

By the way, that "trestle" :lol: is lucky to be still standing, no?

off topic a litte but I remember a CN train that ran by my Old house that toppled off the bridge onto the freeway. I can't remember the year or find it online but it looked like it did in the photo you posted. I remember them telling people nearby to stay inside. it was near groesbeck HWY in roseville MI sometime in the 90s. One person they interviewed said she just drove under the bridge looked in her rearview mirror and there was a train car behind her on the ground.
