Akron to New Castle covers a lot of territory. Where is this derailment?

I'm hearing just west of the N.C, yard, at or around milepost 60

A friend told me that both mains were blocked. The area is accessible, the old P&LE ROW is right next to the CSX so it might be open by now. It might be interesting to go to their mainline, might be busy tomorrow. We have the WWII bombers coming in tomorrow so what do you do ??

Use those bombers to clear the ROW? eek
