PS&P
Title:  PS&P
Description:  2 of the 3 Engines at the derailment- we talked to the yard boss working the derailment, but they didn't offer any real information as to what happened. They quizzed us at 1st, but just wanted us to stay back so we didn't get hurt..of course.

Swing bridge and signal
Title:  Swing bridge and signal
Description:  Looking east, there were 3-BNSF engines sitting idle on the single track about 1 mile east this bridge. I have no idea if they were involved or waiting for the track to be repaired before moving through Aberdeen. We just happened to be driving through town when we spotted the tracks and went looking around.
