SteelRail wrote:I'd estimate it was only doing 35 to 40 mph when it passed through Owego. The freight following it was moving much faster and likely started to catch yellow blocks before Waverly. Any word on what happened as it was leaving Binghamton?23K came through CP Cass at 5:09 PM EDT (according to the time stamp on one of my photos), so it was about 40 minutes behind the OCS.

Great pictures everyone.There were a lot of people milling about there, sorry I missed you! The officer told us where we could walk up to for photos, and we were making sure to stay out of the way of the fire department and everyone else. Looks like they were able to contain the damage and get the train moving quickly. Total stop was maybe 45 minutes?
