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.

UP train derails near Emmett

Posted: September 5, 2011 - 1:31pm

  

Union Pacific crews plan to work overnight and into Tuesday at the scene of a train derailment west of Topeka, said Mark Davis, spokesman for UP’s northern region.

A southbound train left the tracks at 3:50 a.m. in Pottawatomie County near Emmett.

“They will be working through the night and maybe the next couple of days,” Davis said. “They will work around the clock.”

There were 56 cars full of coal that derailed on a bridge. The bridge sustained some damage, and crews are still evaluating the area. The crews haven’t made a determination of when the track will reopen.

“They really won’t have a good idea until they get things picked up,” Davis said.

No injuries were reported from the conductor and engineer who were on the train at the time of the derailment.

The cause of the derailment remains under investigation, Davis said.

    Details are few, but we can tell you this is a line owned by the Indiana Rail Road Company.
    We have put a call in to a company spokesman and he's not returned our call.   
    When we arrived on scene, several bulldozers and trucks were busy getting the coal from the site of the derailment.
    The accident seriously damaged that stretch of tracks.

Train derails near downtown Lancaster

 
 
 
 

LANCASTER, SC (WBTV) - Police in Lancaster are on the scene of a train derailment near the downtown area of the city.

According to railway officials, a train derailed along the Lancaster and Chester Railway between Main Street and Market Street just after noon on Friday.

Officials say three cars of the cargo train derailed from the tracks, but declined to say what was in the cars.

The derailment blocked a section of Market Street and side roads around Main Street on Friday afternoon. Early reports indicate that no one was injured in the derailment. 

This section of train tracks has presented problems in the past four years for the city of Lancaster.

In August 2010, a train jumped the tracks in the same area, blocking Main, Market and 15th streets for several hours.

A train also derailed and crashed into the Buy-Rite Discount Beverage in February 2007.  Two people were inside the store when the cars came crashing through, one of those people was airlifted to the hospital.

Railroad officials say the train's engineers accidentally shoved the train's cars about 30 feet off the track while trying to add a rail car to the line. The store was demolished.

Emergency responders answer call after Amtrak train derailment in Dundy County PDF Print E-mail


Emergency responders from Imperial, Wauneta and Palisade joined others from across southwest Nebraska, northwest Kansas and northeast Colorado Friday morning, Aug. 26, in responding to what many feared would be a grim scenario of disastrous proportion.
Emergency medical technicians, firefighters and other first responders braced themselves for a situation they had been warned could involve over 100 injuries in a train/vehicle accident and subsequent derailment of the Amtrak passenger train in the sparsely populated reaches of far southwest Nebraska.
Thankfully, when they arrived at the scene, they found crew members calmly helping passengers climb down from the train.

Sequence of events
The train, which was running on Amtrak’s California Zephyr route from Emeryville, Calif., to Chicago, was reportedly running about eight hours behind schedule when it derailed west of Benkelman. The train was also involved in an accident near Reno, Nev.last Thursday when it collided with an SUV that was left high centered on the railroad tracks.
Meanwhile, on Friday morning Gerald Shatler, owner of G & S Recycling, and two of his employees were continuing their work of dismantling the old Doane Elevator buildings located about five miles west of Benkelman.  The three were using a truck-mounted crane that Shatler had contracted for the job.
One man was in the cab, operating the crane. Shatler and the other man were in the bucket on the end of the crane. They were up on the crane working on the side of the elevator and needed to get to the other corner of the structure. However, the crane was too close to the building.  
The truck-mounted crane  was supported by four outriggers that were extended to the ground. To get to the other side of the structure, they swung the boom o

21 injured when passenger train hits construction equipment

 


Engines from Amtrak’s No. 6 California Zephyr route derailed and toppled to their side after striking a crane being used to demolish an aging grain elevator at Doane, located between Benkelman and Parks. EMTs, firefighters and law enforcement officers from Wauneta, Palisade and Imperial were among the 200 responders assisting after the accident. 

 

Emergency responders from Wauneta, Palisade and Imperial joined others from across southwest Nebraska, northwest Kansas and northeast Colorado in responding to what many feared would be a grim scenario of disastrous proportion.

Emergency medical technicians, firefighters and other first responders braced themselves for a situation they had been warned could involve dozens of serious injuries in a train/vehicle accident and subsequent derailment of the Amtrak passenger train in the sparsely populated reaches of far southwest Nebraska.

Thankfully, when they arrived at the scene, they found crew members calmly helping most passengers climb down from the train.

 

The collision occurred when an Amtrak train en route from California to Chicago struck a piece of construction equipment being used on a demolition project west of Benkelman in rural Dundy County Friday morning, forcing two locomotives and several cars off the rails but causing no critical injuries, officials said.

The train, running Amtrak’s California Zephyr route from Emeryville, Calif., to Chicago, had 175 passengers and 17 crew members on board when it struck the crane shortly before 8 a.m. at an old railway loading stop called Doane.

An old tin-covered wooden elevator was being torn down at the site, with the crane used in the dismantling process.

The two locomotives left the tracks and tipped over, but the derailed passenger cars did not topple, Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said. The other cars on the 10-car train remained on the tracks.

Magliari said the train collided with the crane. “Our understanding is a portion of a crane working on a demolition project near the tracks became an obstruction to us as our train approached, either across the tracks or on laying on the tracks, obstructing the path of the train,” he noted.

 

Officials reported that 21 people were injured in the incident and transported by ambulance to area hospitals. Those hurt in the crash were taken to hospitals in Benkelman, Imperial and Wray, Colo., where most were treated for back, shoulder and neck injuries.

None of the injuries were critical, and most of the injured had been released by Friday evening, said Dundy County emergency director Elaine Frasier.

“We all felt very fortunate that no one was critically injured,” added Frasier.

 

Over the course of the morning Friday the other passengers were shuttled by school buses to Benkelman’s Dundy County-Stratton High School where they were picked up later that afternoon by private buses provided by Amtrak or in vans and taxis hired by passengers.

In the meantime school staff, community members and area volunteers hosted the stranded passengers at the school, passing out bottled water and grilling hamburgers and hotdogs on gas grills outside the school’s commons area as the commun

Wreckage of the derailed train

A train co-driver died and another was injured after a freight train carrying apatite ore derailed near a station in the northeastern province of Lao Cai Wednesday.

Local reports say that the brakes of the train, which had two locomotives and 16 coaches, failed shortly after leaving a station at around 10 p.m. 

As it moved towards another station in Lao Cai City, it crashed into a railway barrier and derailed.

Two locomotives and nine coaches turned on their side and plunged off a cliff.

Nguyen Van Truong, a 36-year-old co-driver, died in the accident. His body was stuck inside the locomotive and has not been recovered.

Pham Van Sy, a 39-year-old co-driver, was seriously injured.

Vu Van Thiet and Hoang Duy Hung, two drivers, jumped off the train and escaped death.

Local authorities are investigating the accident.
