Possible IPI delay due to BNSF derailment

Re: Possible IPI delay caused by BNSF derailment
To: All our valued Customers
BNSF reported at 06:30 on Monday, July 6th, an international stack train
derailed on the Gallup Subdivision near Winslow, AZ blocking both main lines
(no Imperial loads involved). BNSF field personnel are responding to assess the
derailment site. The estimated time to open either main line has not been
determined at this time. 24+ hour delays are possible as this is a busy part of
BNSF’s network and there are no re-route options. We will have a better idea of
the delays expected once an ETA for re-opening has been provided.
This derailment will impact service on traffic moving between Stockton (ER),
Los Angeles (AR/CR), San Bernardino (SR), Barstow (BR), Phoenix (PR) and
Chicago (WQ/IR/V= and beyond), NW Ohio (OQ), Texas/Mexico (DR/H-/RR), St Louis
(EQ), Kansas City (E-), Memphis (MR), Atlanta (GQ and beyond). Imperial IPI
team will monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should there be any questions or
concerns.
Sincerely,
Imperial CFS Inc.
