Over on Train Orders they said "Major derailment on the 10th at Gene Autry, OK. Mainline still not open."

I am ticketed for Sunday the 14th, hopefully everything is running by then.

I thought I had a good update from BNSF but it turns out it was dated for 2006. I'll sniff around some more.

I came through this area yesterday evening while it was still light out and didn't see any signs of a derailment (no major damage to the ground or vegetation). We did have to crawl through there at 25mph. There were also several slow orders due to signal issues. We ended up being 90 min late on a 4 hour trip.

BNSF plan well in advance. This derailment was already being preapared in 2006.

BNSF seems to be pretty good at dumping a freight about once a year somewhere along the Red Rock Sub but they are also just as good about getting it cleaned up and getting that key line back open.
