A locomotive unit from the CRANDIC died while enroute to deliver some cars to the Canadian National yard this evening. Traffic was blocked on 8th Avenue SE and 3rd Street SE for a period of time.

Another "job" from the SW side of town came to pull the train back to the yard and traffic returned to normal around 8:05pm.
