Train derailment of freight train on 9-11-08 on the tracks that border the south side of the Burnidge Forest Preserve in Elgin, IL.

Worker worked all night with construction equipment to put the approximately 20 cars back onto the track.

As of 9-12-08 morning, they are still working on repairing the track.
I did not get photos of the actual derailment, but here are some photos of the morning after as they are working on the track.

Previews of the photos are below.. but if you want to see them uncropped - you will see them in my Flickr Account here.
