I think I read somewhere that the obstruction was known prior to the derailment and not alerted to the locomotive crew. If this has already been posted, just disregard. https://youtu.be/0ydZ5A3EF_o

We've got three divisions of people and equipment onsite now cleaning it up. A wind turbine was stuck on the tracks, train nailed it wide open. 1 fatality.
Ugly.

I wonder if one of these signs was posted at the intersection. I'm 99 percent sure it is/was. Thats the number for the intersection number and straight to railroad dispatch bypassing local 911 if anybody didn't know. Its at all RR intersections. I did a safety meeting on that when that parade float got hit in Midland that killed them Veterans a few yrs ago. https://www.newswest9.com/article/n...513-42986430-c096-4f8b-8b25-380262522d7d
