Signal Just... Dropped

Derailment in Topeka

 

This 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). You can see said signal laying on the ground here, sticking out of the bottom of this well car. Whoops!
