I noticed a sign stating that Larimore road was closed at RR but the St. Louis county highways and traffic page doesn't have it listed under current projects. I think BNSF is doing MOW work on the tracks over Larimore. Would their site have any info?
BNSF derailed about half a dozen or more covered hoppers at the South end of the Spanish Lake siding, near the Latimore crossing. Most of them have probably been rerailed by now, but it might take them a little longer to finish cleaning up.-James Ryan-
