Sunday July 2nd, Northbound Cascades Talgo Train # 506 has derailed at Pioneer, WA., AKA Chambers Creek Drawbridge, just North of Steilacoom, WA. The lead engine ( or F40 cab car ) is on its side and at least 2 talgo cars are on the ties. Nothing in the water, and per KOMO News no serious injuries. The video shows the derailed equipment had passed the Absolute Signals governing the Pioneer crossover. This interlocking also includes electric derails for the drawbridge.
