Not the CS, but somewhere on the Coast Starlight route there has been a derailment.

Anybody hear where this happened?

I know that yesterday's (3/16) #11 arrived SBA THIS MORNING (3/17) 12 hours late. Today's NB #14 was expected to be about two hours late but they were also bussing people North when I was at the station to exchange a Surfliner ticket for next week.
