WELLINGTON, Ohio — Media outlets are reporting that there are no injuries after a CSX Transportation train derailed in north-central Ohio town of Wellington on Tuesday.
The Elyria, Ohio, Chronicle-Telegram reports that 22 cars and two locomotives derailed Tuesday morning in the center of Wellington on the former “Big Four” New York Central main line. The derailment sparked a fire that local fire fighters extinguished quickly. No cause for the derailment has been reported yet as officials investigate.
Officials tell the newspaper that clean-up is expected to be complete in two to three more days.
Is this not the Rail Express train for Rotterdam, N.Y. (Schenectady) off the U.P.? I would think that this is one of the hottest trains on CSX out of Chicago? What is its symbol, 090?
The “unofficial” word is that a traction motor dropped. When the locomotives traversed the Control Point switches, it spread the rail.
Just another day in the claims Dept.
