Sure does, wish more was coming over the scanner, for nothing is on the net and most likely won't be for hours. Richton Pak is in southside Chicago and we've Freepers out thataway.

Isn't this about 6 train derailments in a little over a month? Seems like too many to me...

# 26 down the list is a working Real Audion live scanner feed for Chicago FD. I thought I might get some cross flow information. Nothing so far but it comes in great!

Interesting. A few months ago we had three instances back to back of people stopping on the tracks. All were apparent suicides.

I don't think so especially when they 'hide' the news ya know?

All I'm getting is freakin' traffic updates on the derailment. So for anyone in the Richton Park, Ill. area, Metra has stopped running from 211th St. on due to this derailment.

Thanx Mom, they just are not reporting anything and I've several channels running. I never trust when there is silence in a situation like this.
