Coal empty derailed by high winds         
A coal empty destined for Kuehn, MT had 18 cars derailed due to high winds while in the siding at Shirley, MT. Workers cut the trucks off the cars in order to get the hoppers out of the way. Traffic was not halted and the lead unit had to be taken to rear of the train to pull the train off a farmers crossing.
