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): |

Train carrying coal derails in downtown Paris; sewer line could be compromised
Updated: Mon 6:58 PM, Dec 15, 2014PARIS, Ky. (WKYT) - Crews have been working to clean up for more than 12 hours now after a train derailment. It caused some train cars carrying coal to fall into a Bourbon County creek.
Paris police think the ground gave way beneath the tracks, causing the derailment in downtown Paris Monday morning. But CSX officials say the cause of the derailment has not yet been determined.
It was a 100-car coal train, but the CSX train lost three of its cars when four of them derailed. As of 6 p.m., one of the cars was still in Stoner Creek and two of them had been removed. The CSX train was traveling from Toledo to Virginia.
"The track is built on what's called a high wall," said Bourbon County Sheriff Mark Matthews. "And it's probably 100 years old or older and just gave way."
Crews and officials from CSX, R.J. Corman, emergency management, environmental protection agency, and emergency response teams along with first responders have been out there for hours and hours since the train derailment happened at about 3:30 a.m.
After learning two people were on the train at the time but no one was hurt, their focus has been the clean-up process.
"One car is in the creek. They're going to try to drag it across the creek and bring it out on the other side at some point," said Sheriff Matthews. "That seems to be what their plan is."
The sheriff says they won't know how much damage there is to the sewer line below the cars until they are moved.
Right now, crews on scene are worried raw sewage is possibly dumping into Stoner Creek. For the EPA, coal is not a concern, but it is a water quality violation so it will be removed.
The R.J. Corman Railroad Group has been heavily involved in removing the cars and coal from the creek. Two divisions are working on scene out of Columbus, Ohio and Huntington, West Virginia.
"The biggest concern is two things. The first being the coal that has gone into the water. The Kentucky Department of Water will be able to take care of any concerns with that as far as what needs to be done with it. We also have a main sewer line that has possibly been compromised on the cliff side," said Paris Fire Department Battalion Chief Jeff McFarland.
The sheriff tells me no drinking water has been contaminated in Paris because it is up stream. There are worries of the spill contaminating places down stream like Cynthiana, but that has not yet been determined.
The sheriff says he's been told the track will be rerouted around where it caved in and trains should be running through there by Tuesday.
Police tell us the Main Street bridge over Stoner Creek has been closed for now so crews can move equipment in and out.
Officials with CSX say they are still assessing the damage. They also added that they regret any impact this event may have on the city of Paris and appreciate the quick reaction of first responders.

REGINA — A CN train has derailed near Raymore, leaving 33 cars off the track.
One of those cars was carrying hazardous goods but is upright and nothing appears to be leaking. No injuries were reported. No one has been evacuated from the town or other nearby residences.
That car was carrying isopropanol — a colourless, flammable alcohol used in adhesive compounds, disinfectants, cleaning products and toiletry products.
According to the town’s Emergency Measures Organization, there is no immediate threat to the town, located 115 kilometres north of Regina on Highway 6.
A hazardous goods specialist from CN is travelling to the scene to assist with the cleanup. There is no indication yet as to how long cleanup might take.
The derailment occurred at 9:46 a.m. about three kilometres west of the town on CN’s main line. Others trains scheduled to travel that line will either be staged in CN yards or rerouted to its north line.
Motorists can expect delays on Highway 15 adjacent to the derailment.
The two-locomotive mixed freight was pulling 135 cars in all en route from Winnipeg to central Alberta. The other cars that derailed were carrying cars, steel and canned goods among other items and one was carrying mineral oil, which is not considered hazardous
