1970 Train Derailment on the Back Track to Clay Center

From The Clay County News

This train derailment occurred northeast of Clay Center as the engine was pulling nine cars to Clay Center.



This would be along the CB&Q tracks that at one time connected Fairfield to Clay Center to Verona to Sutton to Lushton and McCool Junction, as I understand it.


The track, or the train, or more likely, just the engine was unofficially called the "Pook-Eye" for some reason I've never determined.
