Cause determined in Boone train derailment

December 28, 1999 By admin

Authorities now know the cause of Sunday’s train derailment in Boone. Union Pacific spokesman John Bromley says seven cars of an east-bound train derailed on an overpass at about four o’clock Sunday morning, spilling four-hundred tons of coal onto the city street below. Bromley says it’s an expensive clean-up..and could run 270-thousand dollars. Bromley says the viaduct has been inspected and remains structurally-sound. The street remains closed, creating traffic woes in Boone as it’s the only north/south street in town which allows motorists to escape stoppages because of crossing trains.
