Logan County Train Derails...Closing Road
WEST VIRGINIA....
A CSX train, with 23 loaded coal cars, derailed around 5:00 A.M. Friday morning near the Logan County Country Club near Chapmanville. Each of the 23 train cars was carrying 100 tons of coal. Highway officials say a portion of Route 10 between Chapmanville and the Big Creek exits will be closed until the site is cleared and the damage is assessed. A CSX spokesman says the train originated in Russell, Kentucky and was loaded at Peach Creek, West Virginia, while hauling its load to Bill Creek, West Virginia.
