Hello,

Thought I would let everyone know that Finger Lakes had a Derailment in Auburn on the Bridge next to the Prison Don't know the time but guessing it was mid afternoon. Locomotives FGLK GP9 #1751 and FGLK B23-7 #2303 were heading west number of cars in tow unknowen only saw 2 Reefer Cars blocking state street. The Truck on the Cab end of 2303 derailed on the bridge to the left side of the bridge in the same location where the 2 boxcars rolled off last summer. It looks to be that there is no damage to the Locos or Bridge. 2303 will most likeley be back on the rail in a few hours??

I got no pics just stoped long enough to see what was going on and left.
cause of accdent is unknown.
