Well, there have been big happenings in Wilson Creek over the last few days! Saturday morning a train hauling grain derailed as it was passing through town. 24 cars fell off the tracks, and spilled their cargo, creating quite a mess of grain and crumpled steel. My son was bike riding with his friends in the park (next to the tracks) and saw it as it happened. Everyone in town (including my kids!) gathered to check it out, and found the train operator shaken, but unhurt. Everyone said that it was an amazingly quiet train wreck, presumably because of the grain. Lots of news crews and curious onlookers made their way to Wilson Creek, but by Sunday, the railroad crews had it almost back to normal. They can work fast!
