The NS SD70MAC with coal hoppers was going to Black Valley to get the hoppers filled, then it stopped at Central station for another train to pass through. Meanwhile, the Amtrak Express was going to Bluecliff and didn't see that the track switch was malfunctioning and it led to derailment. Then, another train with PRR GG1 with old passenger cars was going to pass through but unfortunately, the derailed coal hopper was on the other track which led to more derailment. 4 drivers, 21 passengers injured and died in that accident and the damaged engines were taken to the repaired and then entered into the service. That accident will not happen again. Date: 12 May, 2008.
