I found the site yesterday and took a few pictures, but I don't have time this morning to upload them to a server. Check back this evening.
Hulcher was there in force! The derailment happened where the CW line crosses Mann Road just west of the future Inland Empire Railroad Museum site. There were seven formerly loaded grain hoppers on their sides. Crews were vacuuming grain from them into a tractor pulled hopper to dump into waiting Agventures trucks. Several trachhoes were in the area, along with a couple of cranes that were rerailing the cars, and a bulldozer. The four locomotives were still there and on the tracks just east of the crossing. Ex-UP 2891 was in the lead with Utah Southern WRIX 3000, Utah Southern WRIX 3001, and NIWX 1617 trailing. The rails were badly mangled for a stretch of roughly 100 yards or so. The rest of the train (and it was a long one) were trapped on the west side of the site away from the locomotives. It going to take some time to get this all back together.
