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.

Security officials rescue passengers after a train dreailed into a canal near Gujranwala, 80 kilometers north of Lahore, Pakistan, 02 July 2015.Four carriages of the train derailed after part of the bridge collapsed

At least 12 soldiers have been killed in Pakistan after a train carrying hundreds of army personnel derailed from a bridge and plunged into a canal.

The army said four carriages derailed after part of the bridge collapsed near Wazirabad in Punjab province.

It was not clear what caused the bridge to collapse, but reports said it dated back to the British colonial era.

Khawaja Saad Rafique, Pakistan's railways minister, suggested sabotage may have been involved in the accident.

"It seems like some other hand must be involved because derailment does not happen like this," he told local media.

The dead reportedly included a senior officer.

Mr Rafique called the incident "unprecedented".

"It could either be a case of a blast or someone has tried to loosen the fish-plate on the track," he told Karachi's Geo TV.

A preliminary report would be issued on Thursday night, followed by a more detailed report within 72 hours, he said.

Derailed train had come from the Sault

http://www.sootoday.com/content/news/details.asp?c=93233

A derailment that occurred around 30 kilometres west of Sudbury Saturday afternoon should be cleaned up by Wednesday night, said the company that operates the train involved in the derailment.

“We are cleaning up presently,” said Manon Beauchemin, vice-president of administration with Geneese & Wyoming Canada Inc., which owns Huron Central Railway, the small rail company involved in the derailment.

Because there were no injuries or hazardous materials on board the train, Beauchemin said the company is responsible for the investigation.

Huron Central operates a 278-kilometre rail line from Sault Ste. Marie to Sudbury, that interchanges with Canadian National and Canadian Pacific. Its customers include Essar Steel and Domtar.

The train that derailed Saturday, near the intersection of Municipal Road 4 and Bay Street, was carrying large steel coils. It was headed east, from Sault Ste. Marie toward Sudbury.

Beauchemin said around 15 cars left the track.

Disruption for Glasgow passengers as train derails

http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/u/disruption-for-glasgow-passeng...

No-one was injured in the derailment of the engineering train in the earlier today at the Greenhill Upper Junction, around three miles west of Falkirk.

The junction is where the main Glasgow to Edinburgh line meets with that heading towards Stirling and Alloa.

The accident and its knock-on to the network comes just 24 hours after work on the main Edinburgh to Glasgow railway line got under way, with passengers expected to face at least six weeks of significant disruption.

The Winchburgh tunnel near Linlithgow in West Lothian will be closed to allow upgrades to be carried out.

The new organisation set up by ScotRail franchise holder Abellio and Network Rail said the derailment had forced some services to Glasgow Queen Street to use alternative routes, impacting upon already lengthened journey times.

A ScotRail Alliance spokesman said: "In the early hours of Sunday morning an engineering train derailed at low speed at Greenhill Upper Junction, north of Glasgow.

"The derailment is a minor incident with only one set of wheels off the rails. The train remains upright and undamaged and there have been no injuries to staff.

"Engineers are on-site working to rerail the wagon and remove the train from the area, but the incident has caused some damage to the track below which will also require repairs.

"We are working to restore normal services as quickly as possible, but the incident is likely to affect trains throughout Sunday."

Train derails off bridge over Old Katy Road and Washington Avenue n...

Posted: Thursday, June 11, 2015 9:24 pm | Updated: 9:28 pm, Thu Jun 11, 2015.

Commuters down Old Katy Road near the 610 Loop were turned away early Thursday morning after a train derailed and fell off the bridge onto the pavement below. Officials say no one was injured in the accident.

Around 8:30 a.m., a westbound Kansas City Southern train traveling between Beaumont and Kendleton derailed at the Eureka Junction in West Houston.

The 84-car train had two locomotives.

Kansas City Southern operates a two-man crew, a conductor and an engineer, and neither was injured in the accident according to Union Pacific spokesperson Jeff DeGraff.

Nine cars, including the locomotive, came off the rails and two cars came off the overpass; one landing on Old Katy Road and the other coming to rest on the embankment.

According to DeGraff, the derailed car that landed on the street was transporting plastic pellets and the car on the embankment was carrying soy beans.

DeGraff confirmed that there were no hazardous materials involved in the incident.

Crews from Union Pacific and Kansas City Southern are on the scene attempting to upright and re-rail the cars and conduct repairs to the track according to DeGraff. Crews with R.J. Corman Railroad Group are leading the rerailing efforts.

“There was significant damage and it will take some time to cut and replace those rails,” he said. “Union Pacific will be handling the cleanup and rerail since it’s their track.”

The dmaged track remains closed, but the track on the north sideof the bridge was not damaged. DeGraff said it is being used to allow trains to bring supplies to the crews. Old Katy road is closed in both directions while repairs are being done.

DeGraff said vacuum trucks are being used to offload the products, but he was unsure how long the process will take, but he is hopeful that the roadway will be cleared by Thursday evening.

“We’re beginning a lengthy process to upright the cars and clear the area,” he said. “It will take several hours to get the product offloaded from the cars.”

The cause of the train’s derailment is currently under investigation.

“ I’m unsure on the facts on how the derailment occurred and the actions of the crew,” he said. “That investigation has already started, but it will take some time.

“We’re in the process of downloading that information from the data recorders that were on both locomotives,” he said. “There was one locomotive at the head of the train and one in the middle of the train to give it distributed power. We’ve pulled the data recorders from both locomotives that will help give us an idea of how the train was functioning and what was happening when the event occurred.”

DeGraff added that investigators will also analyze video from the locomotives and get the account of the accident from the engineer and conductor on board the train.

“Once the trains have been pulled out, we’ll start doing measurements and inspections and scans of the track and the wheels of the cars involved. All of that gets put together to give us the full picture,” he said.

About four hours after the accident, crews had removed the cars that were upright on the track and a locomotive was able to pull them away.

“We’re going to bring in a locomotive from the east side to attach to the back end of the train and we will pull those cars east to our Pierce yard,” he said.

DeGraff said there is no history of problems at this junction to his knowledge.

“I’d have to go back and look through our logs to see if there have been any specific issues,” he said.

DeGraff says they’re doing their best to make the roadways passable as soon as possible, but they will not be able to assess how much damage was done to the pavement until the cars are removed.

“Certainly our focus is on getting this roadway reopened so we can have a minimal impact on the public,” he said.

DeGraff said because no one was injured in the accident, investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) were not called to the scene. He says Union Pacific and Kansas City Southern will work together on the investigation.

“Certainly we are very fortunate that there were no injuries at all sustained by the crew or any of the passing motorists, which is why the investigation into why this happened is very important, so we can make sure to avoid future incidents like this,” he said.

DeGraff said Union Pacific doesn’t wait for red flags such as this to examine the infrastructure of the company.

“We invest a considerable amount of private capital into our infrastructure, such as these tracks and these bridges,” he said. “In Texas alone we’ve spent $300 million over the last 10 years to upgrade our tracks. We take this very seriously because we want to avoid incidents like this. We’ll certainly be looking into this incident and see if there’s additional work that needs to be done. Our derailments have gone down considerably the last 10 years.”

DeGraff said officials have not yet estimated how much the clean up operation will cost.

Grain train derailment near Eureka, causes 'big mess,' authorities say

http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/grain-train-der...

ST. LOUIS COUNTY • A freight train hauling grain derailed near Eureka on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

No one was injured but the derailment of more than two dozen grain cars caused a "big mess," said Eureka Fire Protection District Chief Greg Brown.

The eastbound Union Pacific train derailed near Lewis Road and the Crescent Farms Golf Club about 1:50 p.m., authorities said.

The train originated in Iowa and was heading to Texas, a Union Pacific spokesman said. The train had two people aboard — an engineer and conductor — and neither was injured.

Authorities said the train had 97 cars plus an engine. Twenty-four cars in the middle of the train derailed, spilling grain along the tracks. Of the cars that derailed, 18 overturned. Seventy-two other cars were still attached and upright.

The cause was still under investigation Tuesday. The railroad spokesman said crews would be working through the night to clear the track, which is used by an average of 34 trains daily.

Jim Love, a construction worker, was on a job at the Crescent Farms Golf Club when the train went off the track. Love said he saw white dust rise above the tree line and that it sounded like a "loud roar and thunder-like."

"It sounded like it was right on top of you," he said.
