Unintended Rapid Discharge

I made a quick surgical strike over to the LS&I Wednesday to shoot the aftermath of a large derailment they had on October 30. A 3 Dock/Hill job loaded with chips and fines from Tilden derailed just east of Queens. Twenty-two cars were involved with eight ending up significantly derailed (photo). The main reason I went over is that this derailment resulted in a detour over CN and Cooke's Branch via West Wye - a rare opportunity to shoot LS&I moves on those rails.
