From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 9/29/05:
The full story is HERE.More than 30 people were reported injured in an Amtrak derailment late Wednesday, just south of De Soto. No fatalities or life-threatening injuries were reported, however 11 passengers were transported to a hospital for back and neck injuries. The Texas Eagle was southbound en route to San Antonio. It had left Chicago at 3:20 p.m. and stopped in St. Louis. About 11 p.m., the engine turned over and all seven cars were derailed, although they remained upright, Amtrak spokeswoman Vernae Graham said.
