Just came across my monitor:

pictures on nysw fb page showing all 3 units on the ground in a twisted heap of metal. Lead engine is CSX SD70MAC nose deep in the mud and muck of a field it looks like. Crew reportedly in hospital, unknown on extent of injuries. Second engine is a CSX GE trailing was BNSF GE.

more pics posted, looks like a mixed freight that hit the ground. Cars are all over the place, debris everwhere.

2 Detours are supposedly already getting ready to come down the NYSW Syracuse line to get into NJ.

2 trains involved, Q364-26 and Q641. Unsure what exactly happened, side swipe? or one hit others wreckage?

Albany NY newspaper article with photos:

the pic i saw is dark and underexposed, the csx yellow looked orange like bnsf. my mistake.

As is per normal when these things occur, there are two separate open threads discussing the same
derailment, so we'll close this and defer to the open thread in the New York State forum.
