    Almost exactly halfway between Wolf Point and Glasgow, Montana. Someone mentioned that it was a Z-CHCPTL train. Looking at those trailers in the photo, it is indeed that train.

    They're not having a good summer with all the sun kinks. Talked with an old head GN man and he said they used to have a track car run ahead of trains in these situations, expecting and looking for such troubles.

    OUCH!

    That looks expensive for the insurers.
