According to one of the CSX's neighbors in West Newton,

There has been no action on the railroad since Friday. They had a run-away coal train, U883 on Sand Patch Friday, and derail 100 cars of a 130 car train. 2 units, blizard conditions and close to 3' of snow, and over the hill they went with 13000 tons, and the helpers where cut off at the crest of SandPatch. The crew is OK, and they derailed after speeds exceding 65mph on the curve going into Glencoe. Not even Roddy Sag slowed them down. It was right after that.
