The Orneville Wreck
At approximately 3:15 a.m. on October 19, 2022, southbound CP G16 hit a washout and derailed in Orneville Twp, ME, just south of Milo. They stacked up three GP20C-ECO's (2262, 2279, 2257) and approximately 6 cars. This scene is about 30 hours later, and a pair of sidewinders on site have moved the railcars and engines to the side of the track. No less than four excavators are repairing the roadbed with a parade of dump trucks delivering material. Prefab track pieces are staged on each side for quick install. I would not be surprised if the track is open by the end of the day today.
