TWIN FALLS, Idaho — Cleanup continued Thursday after about a dozen cars of an Eastern Idaho Railroad derailed Wednesday night, KMTV reports.
No injuries or hazardous-materials situation were reported as a result of the accident, which blocked Hankins Road in the southern Idaho community.
The Eastern Idaho Railroad, a Watco property, operates 385 route-miles in two separate clusters of former Union Pacific branch lines spun off in 1993. Twin Falls is part of the southern segment, which interchanges with UP in Minidoka, Idaho.
It looks like a number of the cars just “rolled over” on their sides, soft track or roadbed?
For a straight track the above or a broken rail, broken or missing joint bar , loose spikes, bad wheel (broken?).
Anything on the Montana Rail Link derailment with the Boeing fusilages in the river? Or was that an old story that search engines caught up with?
I think that’s an older wreck, happened about 2014.
Well at least there is only on the ground two almost and one I think can be pulled back up.
Hope WATCO isn’t getting the Class 1 disease.
