Train derailments
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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some Examples (click on pictures for link): |

2nd train derails in Wisconsin in 2 days, spills crude oil
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/midwest/ct-wisconsin...
A Canadian Pacific Railway train carrying crude oil derailed Sunday and prompted some evacuations in Wisconsin, the second day in a row a freight train derailed in the state.The eastbound CP train derailed about 2 p.m. in Watertown, in the southeastern part of the state. The railroad said at least 10 cars derailed, and some were leaking.
No fires or injuries were reported. CP was sending teams to the site.
"CP takes this incident extremely seriously," the railroad said in a news release. The company did not say how much oil spilled.
Federal investigators and hazardous material specialists are on their way to the scene, the Federal Railroad Administration said in a tweet.
Residents of about 35 homes were asked to evacuate around 4 p.m., said Donna Haugom, director of the Jefferson County Office of Emergency Management.
On Saturday, a freight train derailed near Alma in western Wisconsin, spilling thousands of gallons of ethanol. BNSF Railway said crews continued Sunday to transfer ethanol from the derailed cars and get the cars back on the tracks.
The BNSF train derailed at 8:45 a.m. Saturday about 2 miles north of Alma, a town along the Mississippi River. Some of the 25 derailed cars were empty auto racks and tanker cars.
BNSF said railroad crews stopped the leaks from five tanker cars and placed containment booms along the shoreline. One tanker released an estimated 18,000 gallons of ethanol, and the other four released an estimated 5 to 500 gallons each.
No one was hurt. BNSF said it expects the tracks to return to service Monday morning.

Runaway train sparks traffic chaos in Sweden
http://www.thelocal.se/20151026/runaway-train-sparks-traffic-chaos-...
A passenger train travelling from Mora to Stockholm tore up asphalt, a level crossing barrier, and an electrical wire cabinet when it went off the rails in central Sala on Monday morning.
Nobody was injured when the train derailed just outside Sala railway station, around 100 kilometres north-west of the Swedish capital, in the morning rush hour at around 9am, a spokesperson for the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) told The Local."It was driving towards a stop sign, so it was going at a very low speed. The passengers have been evacuated and have been put on replacement buses," said Lars Hedström.
Traffic in both directions was disrupted and travellers rerouted via nearby Västerås while inspectors examined damage to the train and tracks. Trafikverket said in an update on its website on Monday afternoon that the railway through Sala was expected to be out of use until Friday."It must have been a proper derailment, because the train had torn up asphalt and had brought with it an electrical cabinet and a barrier. Luckily the asphalt seems to have stopped the train; if it had had time to gain speed things could have been catastrophic," said Jan Eriksson, a reporter at the TT newswire and a witness at the scene.
