Viewing Album:  Union City derailment
 
By:Atlanta Rails
Dates:7/2/2009 - 7/2/2009
Album Info:At about 3:00 PM on Wednesday July 1st, CSX coal train N132 derailed while traversing the Stonewall Connection in Union City, GA Around that same time i was heading out to Chamblee to railfan NS, and didnt hear about the derailment till that evening. By the next afternoon the main was cleared of derailed hoppers and the RJ Corman and CSX crews were hard at work getting the Stonewall Connection back in service. The hoppers had been pushed to the side and will most likely be cut up on site.
