Train derailment - Louisville/Shepherdsville

#1 Postby GalvestonDuck » Tue Jan 16, 2007 10:17 am

Anyone see a map of the area affected by the train explosion in Louisville?

My cousin (pregnant, no less) lives with her hubby and two dogs just smack dab near the airport and mall. I've looked at where the RR track, I-65, and 1020 are close (since that's the most details I can get from what I've read in articles). Apparently, parts of I-65 north- and southbound are closed and flights are being diverted. So that's puts it close to them. I'm sure they're safe...just wondering how affected they are, with the smoke and everything. I've called her cell and work phones and left messages. And called my uncle in Lexington, but he hasn't heard from her.

So...just to sum it up again -- has anyone seen a map of the area where it actually happened? I'd appreciated it. I even tried the traffic sites for Louisville, but there's no report (yet) -- http://www.trimarc.org/perl/IncConsRpt.pl

It is near the Brooks exit on I-65. That is all I can find. I hope that helps. I'll keep digging!

From Fox 41:

The burning train is off Kentucky 1020 between West Blue Lick Road and Huber Station Road. The derailment involves one train carrying eight cars.

Thanks, Garrett -- that puts it somewhat south of them. Probably not a big deal in their area. Thanks again for helping put my mind at ease. :)
