Look upon him, and despair!Who's Rocky? I know James Jerome Hill, but I don't know Rocky.Rocky's mad.Why did BNSF trains get derailed?

I beg to differ. Rocky is critical to understanding the history of the EB, and the first letters of the thread are EB.Well, as a place to go for actual information and updates about the EB's lateness problems this summer,
this thread has become pretty much useless.

If the tracks are bent, they are probably caused by high heat, so the heat restrictions are not without reason. Debris mght be caused by falling rock or trees. Accidents remain a big problem, don't know how to solve it.Um? Bent/broken tracks? Debris on tracks? Cars/trucks/people on tracks? Some possible reasons, I presume.Could you guys quit joking with me?

I want to make more Rocky jokes, and I have a few clever ones to add to this, but I feel that they would outlast their welcome. There is not much more we can do to a situation like this. ^^^If the tracks are bent, they are probably caused by high heat, so the heat restrictions are not without reason.

Dude, you should totally join the NTSB.If the tracks are bent, they are probably caused by high heat, so the heat restrictions are not without reason. Debris mght be caused by falling rock or trees. Accidents remain a big problem, don't know how to solve it.
Derailments happen so often with freight trains that something seems very wrong with them.
Well it's been mudslides, landslides, fires, derailments, floods, heat restrictions, track work and track closures, broken down freight trains, cars on track, grade-crossing strikes, high winds, suicidal trespassers and trespasser strikes, broken bolster springs and B/O diner cars, now there was the Grizzly bear in Shelby, MT that caused a delay to #7 and now the Empire Builder itself has derailed both locomotives in the Seattle yard.
What could be next?
I missed the grizzly bear story! What happened? Apologies if I've missed it here but I thought I'd read the whole thread.Well it's been mudslides, landslides, fires, derailments, floods, heat restrictions, track work and track closures, broken down freight trains, cars on track, grade-crossing strikes, high winds, suicidal trespassers and trespasser strikes, broken bolster springs and B/O diner cars, now there was the Grizzly bear in Shelby, MT that caused a delay to #7 and now the Empire Builder itself has derailed both locomotives in the Seattle yard.

EB_OBS, so does this mean that the equipment you're talking about might turn into 8(02) tomorrow (Thursday), assuming they can get it fixed? I have friends who are scheduled to leave from SEA tomorrow, returning home to MSP.Just a heads up, today's train #8, has now turned into bustitution to SPK, with the already busing #28 from PDX. Unfortunately the equipment it stuck in the yard due to both locomotives derailed and the cars are behind the locos on the pit tracks which are stubb tracks. They don't go thru so even replacing the locos is impossible.
Train 7(31) will now have to be bused and serviced and flipped back east as 8/28(01).
Thanks for getting back to me so quick, I'd been googling without much success! Shame about the delay but the reason is pretty awesome. I confess to spending a lot of time staring at the forest in the hope of seeing a bear. I've zero desire to meet one in the woods, but I'd feel brave if I were on a train.I missed the grizzly bear story! What happened?

Yeah it's not in the thread. I guess nobody else picked up on the story. Train 7 a couple days back was further delayed attempting to depart from Shelby, MT because of police activity. Turns out a Grizzly bear made it into town and the search area was west of the station and covered the BNSF yard there and the mainline. He caused another 40 minutes delay to an already 2 1/2 hours late train.
Yes the intent is to now use that equipment as 8/28(02). I just got word the engines had been rerailed at 12:05am.EB_OBS, so does this mean that the equipment you're talking about might turn into 8(02) tomorrow (Thursday), assuming they can get it fixed?

Montana Mike,
have you guys all already heard that the train you are on is terminating in SPK?
