| Post subject: | Northfield derailment |
I went to work yesterday in Northfield (Tuesday). As I stopped my bus at the Hwy 19 crossing and looked to the south I could see a boxcar sitting at a 90 % angle to the main track. It seams when Progressive was pulling out of the yard, the engines and part of the train made it threw the switch on to the main, but the one car picked the switch, This was at 5:30 pm. just down from the Kwik Trip. When I came back at about 8:00 pm they were working to clean up the mess. Trains were getting by on the on the siding track to the north at a crawl. |
