CSX Derailment in Kenton, OH

Unread post by Y@ »

Derailment at Kenton, OH on CSX. No further details at this time. The dispatcher is referring to the train as '717' and not using the alpha prefix.

EDIT: Train confirmed as being H717.

Q132 coming up to Ridgeway now, they'll probably end up taking the C&O tonight because of this.

Any idea where they derailed? On a siding? On the main?
Probably a broken rail
The B&O mainline through Ohio- the "diamond route"

Still no details on the matter. Must not be too severe, none of the local news channels have said anything about it on air or online.

With the train involved being the local, the derailment could have taken place on whats left of the former EL or NYC to Bellefontaine and not been near the main.
