There was a derailment last night on the Chicago Line at about MP 274.
What I have heard so far is 19 cars on the ground. From what I can see from the road it looks like containers and grain hopper cars.
It took about 40 panels between the two tracks.

Update, it was auto racks full of Hummers, hoppers, box cars, and a tank car.
They are welding up the panels and waiting for ballast.

They started running trains on track 2 about 5:30 pm.
Track 1 was being regulated and tamped when I left.
