A southbound CSXT loaded ethanol train K42911 derailed when it struck a mudslide at Milepost 123.8 on the CSX Florence Division, Kingsport Subdivision, in Draffin, Kentucky. The train consisted of 3 locomotives, CSX 168, 571 and 384 all AC4400CW's on the head-end, 96 loaded cars and 2 empty cars placed as buffers, one on each end of the train. CSX K42911 was 6,045 feet long with 13,172 trailing tons. The collision caused the three locomotives, the lead buffer car and four loaded tank cars to derail. The cab and front of CSX 168 ended up in the Russell Fork of the Big Sandy River. All three locomotives caught fire and were heavily damaged. Ninety-six cars were carrying hazardous materials, and two of the loaded tank cars were breached and caught fire. Approximately 15 local residents were evacuated from seven homes by Pike County Emergency Management officials. At the time of the accident it was 57°F, dark with rain, fog, and calm winds. There were two non-fatal injuries to railroad personnel.
