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 near Weiser
http://www.ktvb.com/news/local/train-derails-near-weiser/49117297
WEISER, Idaho -- No one was hurt when a train derailed near Weiser early Friday morning.

Union Pacific spokesman Francisco Castillo Jr. said the derailment happened at about 4 a.m.

Five of the train's 110 cars went off the track, with one car overturning onto its side. Castillo said the train was carrying soda ash from Wyoming to Portland, Oregon.

Although some of the contents spilled out of the overturned car, soda ash - which is typically used as a water softener or an ingredient in glass - is not hazardous, Castillo said.

Railroad employees are working now to get the train back on the tracks. Two other trains are delayed because of the derailment, but Castillo said Union Pacific hopes to have the train moving again by the end of the day.

The cause of the derailment remains under investigation.

70 Injured As Egypt Train Derails

Deadly train and vehicle accidents are common in Egypt, and some have sparked protests against alleged negligence in enforcing safety standards.

Cairo:  At least 70 people were injured in Egypt today when a passenger train derailed and two of its cars overturned, the health ministry said.

The accident occurred in Bani Sueif province south of Cairo as the train was headed to the Egyptian capital from the temple city of Luxor.

"Fifty-eight people were treated for their injuries and discharged, while the rest are under observation in hospital," the ministry said in a statement.

Deadly train and vehicle accidents are common in Egypt, and some have sparked protests against alleged negligence in enforcing safety standards.

In March last year, children were among seven people killed when a train crashed into a school bus on an unauthorised level crossing east of Cairo.

But the deadliest disaster occurred in February 2002 when 370 people were killed in a fire which tore through a train south of the capital.

Train crash in Germany kills at least 10, injures 80

Associated Press
Published: February 9, 2016

BAD AIBLING, Germany — Two commuter trains crashed head-on Tuesday in southern Germany, killing 10 people and injuring 80 as they slammed into each other on a curve after an automatic safety braking system apparently failed, the transport minister said.

The regional trains collided before 7 a.m. on the single line that runs near the Bavarian town of Bad Aibling, where the U.S. Army operated a major communications station from 1947 until 2004. Aerial footage shot by APTN showed that the impact tore the two engines apart, shredded metal train cars and flipped several of them on their sides off the rails.

The first emergency units were on the scene within three minutes of receiving the call, but with a river on one side and a forest on the other, it took hours to reach some of the injured in the wreckage. Hundreds of rescue crews using helicopters and small boats shuttled injured passengers to the other side of the Mangfall River to waiting ambulances, which took them to hospitals across southern Bavaria.

Nine people were reported dead immediately while a tenth died later in a hospital, police spokesman Stefan Sonntag said, adding that the two train drivers were thought to be among the dead and one person was still missing in the wreckage.

"We have little more than hope of finding them still alive," he said. "This is the biggest accident we have had in years in this region."

German rail operator Deutsche Bahn said safety systems on the stretch had been checked as recently as last week, but Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt suggested that a system designed to automatically brake trains if they accidentally end up on the same track didn't seem to have functioned properly.

Dobrindt, however, said it was too early to draw a definitive conclusion.

"The site is on a curve. We have to assume that the train drivers had no visual contact and hit each other without braking," Dobrindt told reporters in Bad Aibling, adding that speeds of up to 60 mph were possible on the stretch.

Black boxes from both trains had been recovered and are now being analyzed, which should show what went wrong, Dobrindt said.

"We need to determine immediately whether it was a technical problem or a human mistake," he said.

Authorities had initially reported 150 injured but Sonntag later lowered that figure to 80. Seventeen had injuries considered serious, he said.

Each train can hold up to 1,000 passengers and they are commonly used by children traveling to school. Fewer than 200 people in all were on board Tuesday, however, because of regional holidays to celebrate Carnival.

"We're lucky that we're on the Carnival holidays, because usually many more people are on these trains," regional police chief Robert Kopp said.

About 700 emergency personnel from Germany and neighboring Austria were involved in the rescue effort, using about a dozen helicopters. Train operator Bayerische Oberlandbahn started a hotline for family and friends desperate to check on passengers.

"This is a huge shock. We are doing everything to help the passengers, relatives and employees," said Bernd Rosenbusch, the head of the Bayerische Oberlandbahn.

In Munich, 40 miles away, the city blood center put out an urgent call for immediate donations in the wake of the crash.

Germany is known for the quality of its train service, but the country has seen several other accidents, typically at road crossings. Most recently, a train driver and a passenger were killed in May when a train hit the trailer of a tractor in western Germany, and another 20 people were injured.

In 2011, 10 people were killed and 23 injured in a head-on collision of a passenger train and a cargo train on a single-line track close to Saxony-Anhalt's state capital of Magdeburg in eastern Germany.

Germany's worst train accident took place in 1998, when a high-speed ICE train crashed in the northern German town of Eschede, killing 101 people and injuring more than 80.

Evacuation order lifted after Stark County train derailment and fire

Posted 6:25 pm, February 1, 2016

BREWSTER, OHIO  - Crews remain on scene of train derailment in Stark County that caused a fire and evacuations in the village of Brewster.

Right now, Brewster police say there is no serious threat to anyone however hazmat and EPA crews remain on scene.

The railroad company was on scene as well, but they still don't know what caused the derailment yet.

The derailment happened earlier this evening in the area of First Street.

The accident sparked a fire between two train cars at the Wheeling and Lake Erie rail yard, one of which was carrying butane.

Because of the fumes and the threat of an explosion, Brewster police and fire evacuated people in a half to three-quarter mile of the derailment.

About 300 to 500 people were sent to Fairless high school as a precaution.

"When we went down our street, it seemed kind of calm, only one ambulance and cruiser.  And then within 5 minutes the whole street was lit up red and blue and they were asking us to be out in 20-30 minutes," said Misty Spieker.

Marlon Kurtz added, "We were just sitting at home and then police cars told us to evacuate and go to the high school and wait for instruction."

Ten fire departments, the Brewster police, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Stark County hazmat team, the EPA and the train company were all on scene.

The Red Cross was also at the high school to assist.

S. Minnesota train derailment sends 6 cars into Mississippi

http://www.startribune.com/train-derails-in-southeastern-minnesota-...

A freight train derailed late at night in southeastern Minnesota, sending six cars into the Mississippi River, authorities said Wednesday.

The derailment of 15 cars in total from the southbound Canadian Pacific train occurred about 10 p.m. Tuesday near Reno in Houston County, a CP spokesman said.

“None of the cars in the river contained dangerous goods, and it does not appear that any have leaked,” spokesman Andy Cummings said.

One of the cars that derailed and remained on land lost a saltlike product known as sodium chlorate, a material that is classified as dangerous, Cummings said.

“A very small amount of this product leaked when a cap fell off a railcar,” he said, “but none has reached the river.”

Also on some of the derailed cars was vegetable oil, which did not leak, according to a county official.

A hazardous materials teams remained at the scene as daybreak arrived.

NZ: Goods train derails in National Park, Ruapehu

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/76279990/goods-train-derails-in-nat...

Buckled railway tracks in soaring temperatures are being blamed for the derailment of a goods train in National Park.

KiwiRail senior communications advisor Julie Buchanan said soaring temperatures, which peaked at 31 degrees Celsius at nearby Taumarunui on Tuesday, was behind the derailment blocking a level crossing in the Ruapehu district township.

"It's definitely a factor," Buchanan said. "With this weather the tracks do buckle."

Climo said six wagons had come off the tracks, but KiwiRail senior communications adviser David Miller said, in a statement, it was five wagons.

"The derailment occurred around 4pm and it is reported that one of the wagons has tipped off the track," Miller said.

"As a result of the incident, part of the train is blocking the Fisher Road level crossing, and freight services on that section of the North Island Main Trunk Line, are going to be disrupted. KiwiRail is working to clear the site, and while it is too early to say what caused the derailment, we will be investigating."

Residents of Pehi Rd, where there was banter, laughter and music, were unable to get their cars home as the front of the train is blocking the railroad crossing.

A Fisher Rd resident, who would only give his name as Rodney, said they were also inconvenienced.

"I work locally and I've had to leave my car on the other side of the track. It's a real inconvenience to everyone around here especially the tourists wanting to use Fisher Rd," he said.

Residents had thrown a 'train party' to mark the derailment.

"It's the first derailment I've seen around here. It's quite spectacular," he said. "It's the biggest thing to happen here since the mountain blew up."

It appears some damage has been done to the track and the very last carriage has broken free completely.

Emergency services are at the scene of the derailment.
