Condolences to the families and coworkers of the crew.

The Wall Street Journal, Aug 18, p. A3, has a story, with aerial photo, on the collision. There appears to be a turnout forming the southern end of a siding (?), at the locus of the derailment. Fnding it on Google Earth, the coordinates are 36 - 1.422 N, 90 - 59.603 W, elevation 256 ft. at the switch points ( with a #20 frog?). Have I got this right?

This is the former Mopac Route from Popular Bluff Mo to Little Rock Ar,and the current route of Amtrak's
Texas Eagle,which is not running at this time.
