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.

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'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.
