Yes...it does get switched from the south by the Salem switcher which may have to bring along its caboose and do a shove move from Hito to Canby.
The three units have been rerailed and were being moved south about 4:00 by the Salem switcher and most of the day was spent mobilizing equipment and unloading the centerbeams. Both Rick Franklin and Hulcher crews were in attendance as well as lots of UP folks.
The derailment did partialy occur on the bridge mentioned previously with two cars hanging on for dear life.
