A Union Pacific freight train, the ZSEALC with 37 cars bound from Seattle to Los Angewles, derailed two articulated container cars at 5:35 a.m. yesterday at Argo just after leaving the UP yard on the Seattle Subdivision of the Northwest Division of the BNSF via trackage rights. The mishap blocked all three mainline tracks, disrupting Sounder commuter service to Tacoma and Amtrak passenger service between to Portland, Ore. The derailed cars destroyed the switches between main lines 1 and 2 and up to 300 feet worth of mainline rail. Clean-up service firm Hulcher arrived on scene at noon to begin rerailing the cars. Argo is just south of Seattle near Boeing Field. The three derailed cars and those behind them were left at Argo, and the rest of the train went on to Los Angeles.
