   Amtrak's Carolinian derailed today at 12:15 in Halifax, NC, due to the track   
   being blocked by a oversized tractor trailer which had been trying to turn   
   onto Route 301 for about 15 minutes.  No one notified the RR.

   No one seemed to be seriously hurt.  Later photos showed school buses, but   
   if they were there to pick up passengers or just trying to get to a school   
   was left unclear.  Passengers were taken to an "agricultural center,"   
   whatever that is.
