  • Although the Union Pacific track through Marlow was reopened after a derailment on June 4, a tanker car and part of another car’s undercarriage had still not been removed by Aug. 6. The mishap occurred on the UP main line that extends through Oklahoma from Wichita, Kansas, to Fort Worth, Texas. DAVID B. HALE | SOUTHWEST LEDGER
