Freight Train Derailment Near Here Last Friday Morning
A broken rail north of town caused a Chicago Northwestern freight train derailment involving fourteen cars last Friday morning. The engine and several cars passed the break before brakes failed, with one empty car in a ditch and another across the track. Crews cleared tracks by evening and rails are being replaced, with two empty cars damaged, likely from drifting snow weakening the rail.
