Train Derailment (6.9.08)

During the storms of last week a train was blown off its tracks in Genoa, Ohio. Tony Geftos and I were sent to do a story on the damage. We were unable to get close to the train because there were damaged power lines near the crash site and they kept all the media back for our safety. The next day we went back to try and get closer. CSX told us we couldn't walk down the tracks to get video but we ended up making friends with the property owner where all the train cars ended up. Thanks to Chuck for taking me on his four-wheeler to the crash site to get great video.
