Not quite straight rail

            Derailment in Topeka 

Monday afternoon, 14-ish wells of an eastbound stack train went on the ground in front of the Great Overland Station in North Topeka. This is CP Z068 on UP's Kansas and Topeka Subs, and as this was the ILBG4, it was spanning both subs, and mains at the time of the wreck. 

Surprisingly, everything remained upright, but the derailment did take out one of the east-facing signals at 68 (don't worry, it's a new one already). By 5:30, Hulcher had arrived on the scene, but the photo below was taken prior to that. Eventually, the TPTP's crew went to the DPUs on the west end, and dragged that end of it back to the yard, while the crew on the LBG4 did the same, but eastward after that.
