Drove by the derailment site on Saturday, March 20. The site is pretty much cleaned up. It is clearly viewable from the road (971F, or something like that). This road runs from Arkport to Canaseraga.

The derailment is across the county line in Steuben County and is east of Burns, closer to Arkport, which puts it in the Town of Dansville.

There is one beat up boxcar left onthe ground, no trucks and the roof is caved in. Saw an eastbound CP train passing the area. Slow order still in effect.

As I understand, welded rail will be installed today and tommorow, and as a result the 40T/41T and 12T/13T will run the full length of the Buffalo Line today and tommorow.
