Train Derailment In Martins Creek, PA

This was taken on Thursday, April 26th.

I couldn't find a lot of information on how this accident happened, so here's what I know:

Ardent Mills in MC now receives a monthly unit train from out west. (hence the BNSF power)

What I think happened:

As they were shoving a cut of loaded hoppers into one of the two tracks outside the old mill, one of the hopper's trucks jumped the switch and derailed. As the train continued, more cars were grounded and rolled onto their side before coming to a stop. The damage wasn't terrible, although there will be some much needed repairs as the pictures show.

All photos at the end were used with permission. I apologize for the lack of music at the end...I didn't want to overdo the video. But, as always, Thanks For Watching!
