RMweb Premium melmerby Posted September 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) 45 hours from derailment to first train 07:48 Tuesday to 04:52 Thursday That's really impressive. I assume that was a trial as tampers are back on the track an hour later: Edited September 17, 2020 by melmerby 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CN says up to 20 cars carrying potash derailed at Hunter Creek road and Laidlaw. The company says there are no injuries – fires – or dangerous goods involved. More to come. Brit15 All the hoppers have been moved out of the way, they now appear to have an embankment made of potash. I reckon it will re-open soon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A work platform has also arrived on a trailer, but gone again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakeman hanging on the steps of the rear hopper That was the new ballast. BNSF because although the tracks belong to Kansas City Terminal, BNSF do the maintenance.
