Interesting stuff on the Central Washington Line

Earlier this week (I believe it was Tuesday April 17th) there were a pair of Utah Southern Railroad locomotives in the area. I believe that they are SD40-2s numbered 3000 and 3001. According to www.utahrails.net, the two locomotives were sold to Western Rail, Inc. (WRIX) and moved to their facility near Spokane, Washington in late January of this year. This is the first time I've seen them on the CW line.

I heard today that there was a derailment between Mondovi and Reardan with several grain cars on the ground and rails badly bent. I think the locomotives and crew were alright and upright. Maybe I'll go out and see if I can get any photos for verification.

Would anyone care to elaborate?
