Wreck at west yards delays passenger train
A mid afternoon freight switch failure caused three cars to derail at the Wreck wb and NS W yards last Thursday. Brakes were not cut off and cars left the rails, lodging across the tracks and blocking the main line. An Eagle Grove crew cleared the line after several hours, with all but one car restored to the rails. The afternoon passenger train was held until after six. Several passengers had to drive to Eagle Grove to catch connections.
