New Years Day, Union Pacific derailment at Galt, Illinois

Around Noon on New Years Day 2008, the Union Pacific had a small derailment at Galt, Illinois. It looked as if 3 cars had went on the ground, from an eastbound mixed train Lead by UP 4486. The derailment happened right at the east facing signals for the Galt Crossovers, just west of the Elkhorn Bridge that was rebuilt after a large derailment on May 3, 2005.
