NS Pocahontas Division wreck on July 18, 2010 (Photos)



http://exm.nr/keystonewv ß article and slideshow from this morning on-site



Overnight, NS derailed around twenty empty TTUX auto-racks in Keystone, WV
on the NS Pocahontas Division in southern WV along US 52. I was staying this
weekend at the Elkhorn Inn with my wife, so this occurred about 3 miles East
of our location.



The 2nd Main is open now and one west-bound intermodal has made it past us.



RJ Corman derailment team is on-site and the helper set is being used to
pull rerailed cars down into the Keystone coal marshalling yard. Looks like
there is some damage to the #1 main and also there were a few autos and a
coal truck destroyed in the wreck which occurred in downtown Keystone.
