Just in, CSX piled up another one, blocking Amtrak service, and putting one into the Mohawk river, in the process. Looks like 18 cars in this one. More details shortly.....

At about 08:20am 10/12/05 Q366 was eastbound at Amsterdam, NY and received a defect warning, at the Guy Park detector. The crew began braking the train to stop and inspect the train when while passing through CP 175 the train went into emergency. Upon inspection, 18 cars were found derailed, and piled up at CP 175 including 1 car in the Mohawk river. Detours over NYS&W have begun with Q166 departing Syracuse and heading south over the NYS&W.
