I remember that January, 2008 outbreak quite well. I was home from college on winter break at the time, but the warm sector only nosed into far southern/southeastern Wisconsin so we just got cold rain. I have seen that train derailment video many times. It occurred near Lawrence, IL along the Union Pacific Harvard Subdivision which runs to Janesville, Wisconsin. It was just west of where Metra passenger service terminates at Harvard. At the time it still served the General Motors assembly plant in Janesville, although they would soon announce its impending closure.
