This was footage captured on November 22, 2008 from the cab of CSX K920. We had 58 loads of limestone. Our loads were getting frozen, therefore causing problems unloading. We called it quits early this day. Our power was CSXT 545 and 7359.
As for the derailment, what happened is as follows. CSX N849 lead by CSXT 480 and 536, derailed 20 cars in downtown Kent under the Crane Avenue bridge on 11-18-08 (not 11-20-08, like the press says) for unknown causes. It dislodged the bridge one inch, and the bridge will need replaced. The cars and dumped coal have been moved off the mainline tracks, until they can be removed in Spring. For now, both mains are back to being open, and the memories of a devastating accident still remains trackside. No-one was injured in the derailment. Enjoy!
