1;30 this afternoon there was a derailment of 8 cars in downtown Erie. I heard the crash while pulling weeds. All Lines on CSX are blocked annd tracks are tore up. And luckily a N&S autorack was able to stop within 100 feet of their torn up tracks, otherwise those locos would have crashed down unto State St. If the derailment had happened 200 feet further west the entire Erie station would have been wiped out. Train must have been going 40 mph.
