On Wednesday at approximately 1:30 PM, the Northbrook Fire Department responded to a train derailment that occurred at the bridge over Shermer Road, just south of Willow Road. First responders included Glenview Engine 8 and Northbrook Tower 12, who arrived on the scene and discovered a brush fire along the road. Several coal cars had derailed, spilling coal from the overpass down onto the street below. The bridge, which had been rebuilt in November 2009 following a previous derailment at the same location, was now destroyed.
No injuries were reported, and officials stated that there were no vehicles beneath the bridge at the time of the incident. Due to the high temperatures, a Box Alarm was issued for additional personnel, though the crews were not deployed into action.
Tim Olk reached the scene before the fire was fully extinguished and plans to share photos later. Larry Shapiro arrived shortly after and provided several images capturing the scene from both sides of the bridge.

Push-out Baler Machine
Push-out balers belong to Y81 series metal balers. The difference of this Metal Baler is the way of discharging. Y81 series metal balers can be divided into three categories according to the different discharging methods. The first category is to manually pick up the metal bale; the second category is to automatically push out the metal bale block (forward push and side push); the third type is to automatically turn out the metal bale Block (forward turing out and side turn out).
Push-out BALER is mainly used for baling and compressing various scrap metal scraps. Various irregular scraps can be compressed into rectangular, cylindrical and octagonal shapes. Great savings in storage space and shipping costs.
