From CUNY RR List: I've just gotten news that one of the Silver Service trains has derailed in Coosawatchie, SC. This is about 25-30 miles north of Savannah, GA, in a very rural area of the South Carolina lowcountry. I don't have any other details. When I hear more, I'll pass it along, if someone doesn't beat me to it. Garry Nesbit Savannah Police Department Savannah, GA
