Georgia Derailment - Trains Magazine

A summary only from media reports. This accident on a CSX line in Union City, Ga. (about 8 miles SW of the center of Atlanta airport) derailing 18 coal cars. The derailment appears to be on a siding.. At this location two CSX lines run parallel for about 2 miles (500ft apart). The ex  ABC (ACL) line Atlanta - Manchester - JAX (has a siding) and the A&WP subdivision ATL - Lagrange - Montgomery.(also has a siding).  Also each line interconnects with the other in both directions at this location.. From the Aerial  TV it appears to be on the  ATL- Manchester line  in between the interlocking connecting these two lines but am not sure. This accident should not cause any problems for any intermodals to/from the south of the Fairburn intermodal terminal however north of the terminal unknown at this time. 

BTW all these tracks have had complete rebuilds in the last four years so track conditions should not be the cause.
