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, climbs escalator at Chicago airport

CHICAGO (AP) — An eight-car Chicago commuter train plowed across a platform and scaled an escalator at an underground station at one of the nation's busiest airports early Monday, injuring 32 people on board, officials said.

No one suffered life-threatening injuries in the Blue Line derailment at O'Hare International Airport, Chicago Fire Commissioner Jose Santiago said during a morning briefing.

An enormous disaster was avoided thanks to the timing of the crash at 02:50 a.m. The bustling station is usually packed with travelers making their way to or from Chicago from the major airport, and a Chicago Transit Authority official said the crash happened at a traditionally quiet time.

Denise Adams, a passenger on the train, told the Chicago Sun-Times she heard a loud noise during the impact.

"I heard a 'Boom!' and when I got off the train, the train was all the way up the escalator," she said. "It was a lot of panic."

CTA investigators along with the city fire department and police were reviewing security footage and interviewing the driver and other CTA workers to pin down the cause of the accident around 2:50 a.m. National Transportation Safety Board investigators were expected to arrive later in the day.

"We will be looking at equipment. We will be looking at signals. We'll be looking at the human factor and any extenuating circumstances," CTA spokesman Brian Steele said. "But really at this point, it's far too soon to speculate."

A police officer stands near a Chicago Transit Authority train car that derailed at the O'Hare Airport station early Monday, March 24, 2014, in Chicago.

Transit agency officials said crews were working to remove the train and fix the escalator, which received "significant damage." Hours after the crash, the front of the first car could still be seen near the top of the escalator.

Christopher Bushell, CTA's chief infrastructure officer, said it would likely be at least 12 to 24 hours before the station would reopen. He said workers will cut the train apart and remove it in pieces on a flatbed.

The CTA was busing passengers to and from O'Hare to the next station on the line.

The train appeared to have been going too fast as it approached the end-of-line station and didn't stop at a bumping post — a metal shock absorber at the end of the tracks.

"The train actually climbed over the last stop, jumped up on the sidewalk and then went up the stairs and escalator," Santiago said.

"Apparently (it) was traveling at a rate of speed that clearly was higher than a normal train would be," Steele said.

It wasn't clear how many people were on board at the time of the crash, but that it took place during what is "typically among our lowest ridership time," Steele said.

The injured were taken to four hospitals and Santiago said most were able to walk away from the wreck unaided.

In September, a CTA Blue Line train slammed into another train at a suburban Chicago station, injuring as many as four dozen commuters.

At least 10 injured after Boston subway train derails

At least 10 people were hospitalized Monday after a Boston subway car derailed underground and another car braked quickly to avoid a collision, officials said.

Only one person had serious injuries, according to a statement from Boston Emergency Medical Services.

A Green Line Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority train appeared to have come off its rails and crashed into a wall where a pair of tracks crossed underground, according to photos posted to emergency officials' Twitter accounts.

"Injuries were some people from derailed trolley and some from a 2nd trolley that hit brakes hard to avoid derailed trolley," the Boston Fire Department said in a tweet.

The cause of the incident was under investigation, and trains in the area were canceled for the rest of the day.

Empty coal train derails near Olney

45-car derailment leaves U.S. 93 shut down for hours

Updated Yesterday

A massive train derailment left a highway shut down and dozens of cars off the tracks in spectacular fashion Saturday afternoon.

Very little information was yet available Saturday night as to what caused 45 of the train’s empty coal cars to derail just outside of Olney at approximately 3 p.m.

BNSF spokesperson Matthew Jones said no one was injured in the incident. He said the train was eastbound from British Columbia at the time of the derailment.

A notice from the Montana Department of Transportation issued shortly after the derailment indicated the closure of U.S. 93 was expected to last until 11 p.m.

Troopers with the Montana Highway Patrol diverted motorists through Olney and around the area of the derailment, minimizing the highway closure’s effect on traffic.

Train derails near Westfield, Auckland (Source: ONE News)

Train derails near Westfield, Auckland -

A derailment of an empty train in Auckland early this morning is being investigated by Auckland rail.

Transdev Auckland staff were taken to hospital with minor injuries and have now been released following the derailment near Westfield junction just before 2am.

The empty train was being pulled by a locomotive and was travelling southbound to Westfield Depot where Auckland trains are serviced and maintained.

The locomotive and first carriage left the track, with the locomotive coming to rest on its side and the carriage remaining upright.
 
Transdev Auckland Chief Operating Officer Martin Kearney says Transdev and KiwiRail will be investigating to establish the circumstances of the incident.

A driver and train manager were on the train and "had a significant shock", Mr Kearney says.

Buses are currently replacing trains between Otahuhu and Britomart on Auckland's Southern Line.

Earlier the Fire Service told ONE News the train's fuel tank ruptured, resulting in several thousand litres of diesel being spilled.

St-Henri train derailment spills 3,500 litres of diesel fuel

Halifax to Montreal freight train was carrying merchandise and grain, four cars hop the tracks

Emergency crews are cleaning up after the overnight derailment of a CN freight train near the intersection of Saint-Jacques and de Courcelle Streets in St-Henri spilled around 3,500 litres of diesel fuel.

No one was hurt in the incident but firefighters and Urgence-Environnement had a busy morning trying to recover the fuel, which spilled from one of the train’s two locomotives.

The train was transporting containers full of merchandise and tanks of grain from Halifax to Montreal. Two tankers of grain and both locomotives came off the rails but remained upright.

André Ménard, a spokesman for the provincial environmental emergency agency Urgence-Environnement, told Radio-Canada that around 3,000 litres of fuel were recovered and the other 500 litres were absorbed by the soil without risk to the water supply and sewer system.

The Transportation Safety Board and CN are now investigating the derailment.

“It’s too early to suggest a cause,” said Louis-Antoine Paquin, a spokesman for CN.

Train derails overnight in Westford, town manager says no one notified

WESTFORD, MAss. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A train derailed in Westford overnight, and police were responding to the incident Thursday morning. 

The call about the train came in overnight, according to Town Manager Jodi Ross. The train derailed at around 11 p.m. Wednesday, and nobody from the company that owns the train, Pan Am, notified anyone in the town, Ross said.

The fire chief noticed the incident as he drove by the train at 9:30 a.m. At around 10:50 a.m. Thursday, Westford police announced that Bridge Street had been closed at North Main and Pine Ridge Road. 

A spokesperson for Pan Am said  that the train has 12 cars in total, some carrying paper goods, one carrying latex and two others with propane. The two cars with propane went off the tracks, and a locomotive was expected Thursday afternoon to pull them back onto the tracks.

A call went out to warn residents within a half-mile of the incident, but Ross said there is no hazard at this point.

Members of the town's board of health, fire department and police department were meeting Thursday morning to discuss the incident and how to get the cars back on the tracks successfully without them toppling over.

The Pan Am spokesperson said the company did not notify the town because crews sent out Wednesday night did not feel there was an immediate danger, and because all of the train cars are upright.

train derailed near Palmerston

WILMA MCCORKINDALE/Fairfax NZ

OFF-TRACK: The derailed train north of Dunedin.

A freight train has derailed north of Dunedin, closing the main trunk line near Palmerston.

The train left the track at Hampden, nearly 80km north of Dunedin - about 5am, with nine wagons tipping off the track, a KiwiRail spokeswomen said.

The only person on the train was the driver. No one was injured.

"The recovery operation is now underway - the locomotive and front portion of the train has left the site and a crane will arrive shortly to re-rail the derailed wagons," the spokeswoman said. 

"There is considerable track damage and we expect it will take at least 24 hours to complete, which could affect around a dozen services."

The cause of the derailment won't be known until an investigation is carried out, she said.

The southbound freight train was hauling 20 wagons of general freight, including meat product and by-product.

KiwiRail was updating affected customers on the situation so they could make alternative arrangements to move their products, she said.

Train Derails in Pennsylvania Amid Heavy Snow


Image: train derailWPXI
A train hauling crude oil and propane derailed in Vandergrift, Penn. on Feb. 13.

Twenty-one cars of a freight train carrying oil and propane derailed in western Pennsylvania on Thursday morning during heavy snowfall, according to officials.

The Norfolk Southern Corp. train jumped off the tracks in Vandergrift, Pa., and one car struck a nearby steel plant, said Dan Stevens, an emergency Management Coordinator in Westmoreland County, Pa. — about 30 miles outside of Pittsburgh.

The cars that derailed were carrying propane and crude oil, but the accident did not spark a fire and no one was injured, Stevens said.

The employees of the steel plant were forced to evacuate because the crash compromised "the integrity of the building," Stevens said.

Stevens said the train derailed while navigating "a slight bend," and while snow pummeled the area, a cause would not be determined until Norfolk Southern finished their investigation.
