The NS has put one of their heritage painted units on its side in a derailment in Pittsburgh early Sunday morning. The engineer got out OK on their own, but medics helped the other crew member out.of the unit. NS personnel said that the train hit a rock slide. This was reported in the PIttsburgh Tribune Review and WPXI Channel 11 in Pittsburgh..
