Early in the morning on May 8, 2015 train Z-WSPALT8-06 derailed just south of Valley View siding due to a washout after having picked up a DOL crew from a train parked in the siding at Valley View. Four employees were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Attempts will be made to lift the fourth locomotive to the rail for rebuilding.
