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.

Train derails in Scott; trailer park being evacuated

Several cars of a train traveling through Scott partially derailed Wednesday morning, but no injuries have been reported. 

The cars partially derailed near the intersection of the tracks and Pecan Grove Road at about 10:30 a.m. 

As of 12:40 p.m., officials are saying that, although one car was carrying a dangerous chemical, no leaks have been detected. A company that specializes in hazardous materials leaks is en route from Houston to verify that, Lafayette Fire officials said. 

Residents within a quarter mile of the tracks to the north were evacuated, including the Little Blessings day care center and the G&R trailer park. Those residents currently are at the Scott Events Center. 

As of 1 p.m., according to State Police, the following streets are affected by the evacuation: Pecan Grove Road, Benford, Hobby, Gary, Finley, Clay and Shell. 

Cameron Street was closed between Westgate and Ambassador Caffery for approximately two hours, but as of 12:30 p.m. Wednesday it had been reopened. 

Although it is unclear who ordered the evacuation, employees at Service Chevrolet on Ambassador Caffery, south of the tracks, say they were evacuated this morning; by 1 p.m. the dealership was open again. 

Since the incident was reported at about 10:30 Thursday morning, there has been confusion among various first responding agencies regarding the facts of the derailment. The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office spokesmen reported at one point that there was a leak on the train, but the Lafayette Fire Department has stated that no leak has been detected. The LPSO's spokesmen have since stated that no leak has been detected.

The LPSO spokesmen also stated that the evacuation was a one-mile radius, but again the Fire Department spokesman said it was only a quarter mile, and just north of the railroad tracks. Telephone calls to businesses located within the one-mile radius indicate that those employees were still in place, and business owners tell KATC TV3 that they have not been contacted by anyone. 

Lafayette Fire officials said the substance on the train was phosphoric acid.

Phosphoric acid is mainly used to make fertilizers, detergents, and pharmaceuticals, according to the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  It becomes dangerous if it's inhaled, ingested or comes in contact with the skin or eyes and can cause irritation of eyes, skin, upper respiratory system; burns; and dermatitis, according to the CDC.

------------------------------------------

12:30 p.m. update: 

Cameron Street is now open.  

Although deputies say the evacuation zone is one mile, firefighters say the evacuation zone is only a quarter mile north of the railroad tracks. 

The mobile home north of the railroad tracks in Scott, near Pecan Grove Road, is being evacuated.  Residents are being taken to the Scott Event Center where Red Cross will be assisting them.  We're told the substance in the car is phosphoric acid, and it is not believed to be airborne at this time.

Phosphoric acid is mainly used to make fertilizers, detergents, and pharmaceuticals, according to the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  It becomes dangerous if it's inhaled, ingested or comes in contact with the skin or eyes and can cause irritation of eyes, skin, upper respiratory system; burns; and dermatitis, according to the CDC.

 Firefighters say they're unsure if the car is leaking.

Authorities are responding to a train derailment in Scott near Pecan Grove Road. 

Details are scarce, but a KATC reporter on scene says evacuations are under way on Cameron Street from Ambassador Caffery Parkway toward Scott as far as the reporter can see.

Tewksbury freight train derails

04/09/2016 10:28:55 AM EDT

TEWKSBURY -- A Pan-Am Railways train carrying carbon dioxide derailed off Shawsheen Street at midday Friday, but it did not result in any injuries, leaks or damage, officials said.

Three cars carrying carbon dioxide derailed off the tracks around 12:30 p.m. in the area of 1600 Shawsheen St. All cars remained upright.

Numerous fire and hazardous materials first-responders, along with train employees from Pan Am Railways, worked throughout the afternoon to return the rail cars back on the tracks -- which were not on a commuter rail line.

Tewksbury Fire Chief Michael Hazel said the cause of the derailment is under investigation.

"It could have been due to the recent rain. It's unclear," Hazel said.

"It was pretty uneventful," he added. "The Pan Am workers fixed it pretty quickly."

The train was making a delivery to Praxair, which offers compressed carbon-dioxide gas and liquid carbon dioxide in a variety of purities and concentrations, according to its website.

The refrigerated carbon dioxide is a non-flammable gas, said Hazel. He added, "in this case, there was no damage to the train."

Pan Am Railroad spokesman Cynthia Scarano said they are investigating the cause, and may have a positive conclusion in a few days.

"We'll look at the black box and make a determination," Scarano said.

She said the conductor and engineer on board were not injured.

The state Department of Fire Services Hazardous Materials Response team was on the scene.

NORTH BAY — An ONR train derailment early this morning left rail cars hanging from trees off Highway 63, and caused police to close the highway for a time.

The road has now been re-opened.

Three homes were evacuated as police feared the rail cars might roll down the hill and onto the house. A couple of cars are just feet from a house and Malcolm Small Engines business. 

The accident occurred about 30-40 metres from the road.  The rail cars came off tracks on a the rail line running parallel with Highway 63 between Silver Lady Lane and Peninsula Road.  

Seven sulphuric acid rail cars of a total of 25, are off the tracks, but are empty. 

Renée Baker, Communications Manager at ONTC told BayToday that, "At 5:30 this morning 25 empty rail cars derailed about six miles north of North Bay. There were no in juries and no environmental concerns and no spills. Our crews are currently re-railing the cars."

Baker said an engineer and conductor were on the train at the time.

Mayor Al McDonald says, "The derailment was believed to be 24 cars, West of Peninsula. We believe the cars to be empty. The fire department is on scene, ONR representatives. We have sent our engineer to the site. 

"We believe there is no diesel spill from train engine as engine did not leave track. They may have to close the highway again for clean up of train cars as some cars leaning against trees."

2 Dead After Amtrak Train Derails Outside Philadelphia

By Reuters On 4/3/16 at 10:52 AM

A damaged window is seen on an Amtrak passenger train near Chester, Pennsylvania, in this social media picture from Glenn Hills Jr taken Sunday.

An Amtrak train locomotive partly derailed when it struck a backhoe in Chester, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, and two people were killed in the accident, television stations reported.

Amtrak, the U.S. passenger train company, said about 31 passengers had been transported to hospitals, none with life-threatening injuries.

Services were suspended between Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware, until early Sunday afternoon, it said in a statement. It had said earlier it was suspending service between Philadelphia and New York.

The southbound Palmetto train running from New York to Savannah, Georgia, had about 341 passengers and seven crew members aboard when it struck the backhoe and partly derailed, Amtrak said.

Philadelphia's ABC and NBC television affiliates reported two deaths. The Amtrak statement did not mention any deaths. Spokesmen for the Chester police and fire departments were not available for immediate comment.

Fox News said those killed were construction workers who were unable to clear the tracks in time. It quoted witnesses as saying the train's horn sounded before it struck the equipment.

Passenger Stephanie Burroughs described a fireball and windows on the train being blown out upon impact.

"The conductor did inform us that there was a fatality, that there were people working on the track," she told Fox News.

A spokesman for the Trainer United Methodist Church in Chester, about 15 miles southwest of Philadelphia, said it was being used as a staging area and hundreds of passengers were in the church's gymnasium.

In one of Amtrak's deadliest recent accidents, eight people were killed and 43 hurt last May when a New York-bound train derailed in Philadelphia. Officials are still determining the cause of that crash.

Last month, about three dozen people were injured when an Amtrak passenger train derailed in Kansas.

Train Derailment After Storm in Alabama

Meteorologist Danielle Banks has the latest on a train with 22 cars that derailed Friday morning near Opelika, Alabama. Officials are investigating if overnight storms may have damaged the tracks. 

A Norfolk Southern train derailed near Opelika, Alabama, Friday morning during a heavy rainstorm. Opelika Police told WTVM that a portion of the railroad bridge was washed out taking the tracks with it.

Workers inspect train cars that derailed near Opelika, Alabama, Friday morning. (Todd Van Emst/Opelika-Auburn News) "Torrential rain and gusty thunderstorms have been affecting the Opelika area since late last night," said weather.com meteorologist Quincy Vagell. "The area was inundated with high water with reports of flash flooding." 

According to WTVM, 22 cars were derailed even though the front engine, containing a conductor and an engineer, stayed on the tracks. Both the conductor and engineer walked away from the accident unharmed.

“I heard the train blowing its whistle like it always does when it approaches a crossing,” Ken Hilton, a resident of the nearby Creekstone subdivision told the Opelika-Auburn News. “Then I started feeling the ground shaking and hearing metal-on-metal, and then all of a sudden, everything got quiet."

“I knew right away it was a serious accident because of how long it took for this noise to stop,” he said.

The Lee County Emergency Management Agency said in a Facebook post that there were no hazardous materials involved.

Wagons of goods train carrying explosives derails in Madhya Pradesh

Mar 21, 2016, 10.25 PM IST

BHOPAL: Emergency services were put on alert after two wagons of good train carrying high intensity explosives derailed near in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh on Monday evening.
Bombs were loaded from ordinance factory Khamaria, Jabalpur for a ministry of defence' stores, said sources.
Wagons got derailed on a special line connecting the ordinance factory to Jabalpur main station.
Derailment of explosive-laden wagons near residential area pressed a panic button among the ordinance authorities and the local administration. Police and fire service were called to the scene.
A company of special armed force (SAF) was also deployed to stop curious residents from reaching the spot. Railway officials said that there was no impact on the rail traffic as the incident was on special line.

"Wagon no 13 and 14 which got derailed were put on track using heavy cranes. Operation lasted within one hour," a railway officer told TOI. Some of the wheels of one wagon slipped from the rail, but it remained upright, he said.
A committee has been set up by the railway department to inquire the matter, he said. One theory is that there must have been some subsidence under the track.
"The bombs were especially packed and there was no risk of explosion. Transportations were being carried out under controlled conditions," said sources in the ordinance factory.
This is the second such incident on this special line within 12 months. Last incident was reported on April 11, 2015 when five wagons of good trains loaded with explosives got derailed. No injury was reported.

Train Derails in Okanogan County (3/14/16)

No one was injured in a train derailment in Okanogan County Monday. The locomotive was starting to move after being loaded near Janice Bridge when several of its 52 rail cars slid off the tracks.

The ground under the rails 2-and-a-half miles north of Riverside appeared to liquefy, causing five cars carrying Calcium Carbonate to derail.  The substance is a non-hazardous neutral stone.

The train was also carrying lumber and was traveling less than 9 miles-an-hour when the incident occurred.
