Hi...We were at

essex when the busses rolled in and out because of the the derailment...when coming home..we saw all the cars helter skelter..could anyone tell me how this happened? Our train into tomah was only 4 hours late...and going to Essex 2 hours late.. :eek:hboy:
 
There are a lot of sharp turns on the tracks over there, due to the area (it is the continental divide) . Amazingly major derailments are common.

The same thing happened to me a few years ago, we got stuck in Libby, MT for God knows how long. I was bussed to Essex where I was getting off, but those going past the park were bussed to the WB builder which was turned and went on its way.
