Spain Experiences its Worst Train Accident in 40 Years

An increase in train derailments was one of the first symptoms of the approach of Planet X to become noticeable, being expressed even before Planet X entered the inner solar system in 2003.

Planet X was described as affecting the Earth from afar, like tugging on the edge of a spider web where the effects are felt elsewhere on the web; in this way there has been an increase in earthquakes and unpredictable weather going back years, even before Planet X entered the solar system, due to the increased swirling of the Earth’s core.

It is therefore logical that an increase in train derailments would accompany any increase in seismic activity – train tracks need to be straight and even the slightest shift to the side of a section of track would cause a train to derail.

The area most affected by train derailments is the stretch zone.  Stretch zone quakes are silent, and people are generally unaware anything is happening, although signs such as booms and trumpet sounds can occur.

This zone stretches from Western Europe across the Eurasian Plate, and also includes the South-East United States, the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Red Sea and the African Rift.

In other parts of the world, shifting ground is more associated with earthquakes that people are aware of, such as the Pacific which is compressing, so authorities inspect railway tracks after any seismic activity, reducing the likelihood of accidents.

21 hurt after train derails

The train that derailed near Isipingo after a car landed on the tracks.

A Durban motorist being chased by metro police crashed off a bridge and landed on the train tracks below, causing an oncoming train to derail.

The driver managed to escape from the car before the train ploughed into it.

Twenty-one people were injured, one of them seriously, in the incident near Isipingo yesterday afternoon.

Metro police spokesman Eugene Msomi said the police had wanted to pull over the car because the driver was acting suspiciously.

“The traffic officers tried to stop the car but the man drove past. The officers gave chase and called for back-up. We suspect that the car may be stolen or hijacked,” he said.

Metro police said the driver failed to negotiate a bend and crashed through a bridge and landed on the railway line.

A Metrorail train then hit the car and left the tracks.

The Passenger Rail Agency of SA said two coaches had derailed and serious damage had been caused to infrastructure.

ER24 paramedics spokesman Derrick Banks said the car was found wedged between one of the coaches and the wall of the bridge.

Paramedics found the injured passengers sitting on the railway line near the train. They were taken to local hospitals.

Problem may have been with derailed coach

MUMBAI: Unit failure could be the reason for the derailment of the sixth coach of the Kalyan-bound train that led to a massive disruption of rail traffic on Wednesday.

A senior official said, "There is no evidence to identify any particular fault and the detailed inquiry is being conducted by the commissioner of railway safety (CRS). We can speculate on unit-related failure because the derailment happened after five coaches passed the accident spot. There was no visible damage to the track. But the tongue rail, the part on the tracks that helps a train cross from one line to another, suffered damages as the derailed wheels were dragged ahead while the train was in motion."

Another theory is that the train wheels touched the fish-plate, a metal bar bolted at the ends of two rails to join them together in a track. A senior official said, "This can happen only if either the track or the wheel has got eroded. Another option is to remove the fishplate at the yard. We can try out continuous or long-welded rail method in which the lengths of the rail are welded to join them together in a track."

Two injured after train derails in cyclone flooding

Updated December 27, 2011 13:30:13

Two men have been injured after they were trapped in a freight train that was swept off a bridge near Katherine, south of Darwin.

The train derailed near the Edith Falls River Crossing in floodwaters caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Grant.

Heavy rain from the system, which is now a tropical low, has brought heavy rain and isolated flooding to the Northern Territory, cutting sections of the Stuart Highway.

Police say the train's driver and co-driver have been rescued by emergency workers and are being taken to the Katherine District Hospital to be assessed.

Earlier, a CareFlight helicopter attempted to rescue the men, but had to return to Darwin because it was unable to land in the wet conditions.

The Member for Katherine, Willem Westra Van Holthe, says the Edith River Bridge has collapsed and carriages are floating downstream.

"It's what I'd describe as a scene of devastation here," he said.

"Apart from the enormous amount of water flowing across the road, there's sheets of bitumen that have been lifted off and carried away and also it appears as though the train tried to get across this morning while the river has flooded.

"The train bridge appears to have collapsed."

Pair swept away

NT police have also rescued two people who were swept from their car in the flooding.

A man and a woman were swept off the roof of their car on the Edith River Bridge after it aquaplaned and stalled about 2am.

They were able to cling to a tree about 50 metres downstream and were rescued a short time later.

A flood warning is in effect for some low-lying parts of Katherine.

There are road closures at the Edith River Bridge Crossing and the Cullen River Crossing in the Pine Creek and Douglas Daly region.

NT Police spokesman Tony Deutrom says officers in the area have been monitoring the situation.

"From Pine Creek south we've got police on-site and have been in and out through the night," he said.

"In Katherine up to Edith Bridge, had emergency services out during the night as well.

"The Katherine emergency operations centre's been activated overnight."

The Mason City Globe Gazette ( http://bit.ly/rzy7AQ) reports the derailment happened just before 1 p.m. Saturday in Charles City in northeast Iowa. No injuries were reported.

The cars of the Canadian Pacific train were carrying soybeans and scrap metal when they toppled off the tracks at a stretch near state Highway 14. The train was bound for the northeast Iowa town of Marquette.

Railroad spokesman Ed Greenberg says an extensive investigation is being started to determine what caused the derailment. He says the railroad is also conducting "an appropriate response" that includes cleaning up the derailed cars.

Train cars derail at Charles City

Grain erupted from one car derailed at Charles City. Other cars held scrap metal.

CHARLES CITY — Thirteen cars of a Canadian Pacific train derailed just before 1 p.m. Saturday at Charles City.

Cars were carrying soybeans and scrap metal. There were no injuries.

They came off the track at a length of southbound rail, just off the Avenue of the Saints near Highway 14, according to Ed Greenberg, a spokesman for the railroad.

Cause of the derailment is under investigation, he said.

“It would be premature to speculate on a cause as we begin an extensive investigation into what happened,” Greenberg said.

He added the railroad’s concern is to conduct “an appropriate response” that includes not only cleaning up the derailed cars and spillage, but to make sure there was no adverse environmental impact.

He said each derailment case is different and he could not guess at how long that process would take.

“It just all depends on the incident,” he said.

The train was bound for Marquette, Iowa.

“We have rerouting options” for rail traffic, he said, so that is not a concern, he said.

Freight train derails in Montchanin
4 cars jump tracks; several roads closed


Train derailment forces detours in Montchanin: A train derailment is forcing traffic detours in the Montchanin area. Montchanin Road (Del. 100) was closed about two hours but has been reopened, DelDOT says.

Four cars of a freight train jumped the tracks Friday afternoon, snarling traffic at Del. 100 and Rockland Road in Montchanin but causing no injuries.

Montchanin Road (Del. 100) was closed for about two hours after the accident, which happened at about 2:30 p.m. just behind the old Montchanin train station. Rockland and Kirk roads remained blocked near the tracks.

Railroad and emergency officials weren't sure what caused the derailment.

One tank car had about 27,000 gallons of butane in it, but no leaks were detected, and many other cars were empty. At least one empty car had some damage, according to Al Sauer, vice president of East Penn Railroad, of Kennett Square, Pa., which operates several short lines in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

The train was moving at about 10 mph when the incident occurred, Sauer said.

Officials planned to decouple the cars from the 20-car train, removing the unaffected cars with a locomotive sent to the scene from Pennsylvania. Then, they planned to work to get the derailed cars back on track -- possibly with a crane.

"They may have to fix a little section of track, too," said Talleyville Fire Company Chief Tom Looney.

No environmental hazard was expected, according to Jamie Bethard of the state Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.

"It may be a little noisy around here for a while, though," he said. "It's not all going to happen tonight, either."
