Two Marion youths faced felonious damage charges over a Aug. 6 derailment that damaged three Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad locomotives and cars, with damage estimated at 500000. One charge for criminal damage to property was amended, while the judge dismissed the felonious damage charge as the alleged device was not an engine attachment. The case remains pending further action before Williamson County Judge Lan Haney.
