    It certainly looks like the location will add to the challenge of putting it right.

    Officially, 31 cars destroyed. (Source: MRL.) I had the privilege of seeing some internal company accident scene photos. Unfortunately am not allowed to share. It is a good mess they will be cleaning up. Thankfully coal as it is in this instance is inert. No pollution or contamination.

    Tracks opened after 6pm local time last night.

    Bears in the area must be so disappointed that it wasn't a grain train.
