Derailed Train Continues to Block Traffic
A train derailment yesterday is still blocking traffic today, and could be until tomorrow. the grain train jumped the tracks yesterday at Cheney-Spokane Road on the northeast side of Cheney.
Meanwhile, the incident is drawing attention to another risk involving trains, the chances of this happening more often, and more catastrophically, with the increase in trains, especially oil trains, on tracks through the area.
The Spokesman-Review has the story, and the detour to take to get around the derailment.
