A Freightcorps 82 class with loaded ballast wagons was sitting in the
Martins Creek ballast siding waiting to depart. As SB7 was passing in the
down direction, it's last 3 wagons derailed and these wagons struck the 82
class and several ballast wagons. The FC crew were taking to hospital and
treated for shock and chest pains. The cause of the derailment is unknown at
this time.
