No exact location yet but the derailment is where the track parallels Fremont behind Oceano. Not sure if Sinaloa or Josefa were affected. Friend said they were searching for bodies as that train is sometimes loaded with 'passengers' up top.

Just heard it is East of and close to Sinaloa. Josefa may be impacted, do not know.

I think they were working on replacing some of the ties according to someone who lives nearby. Also in the photo you can see some new looking concrete ties.
