Train derailments
JUST IN - Massive fire erupts after train carrying ethanol derails in Tepetitlán, Mexico, November 1, 2025 VIDEO: https://t.me/ZetaTalk_Followers/78651 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. |

There's been a couple of these incidents where trains barrel in to cars due to lights or barriers not working. We're going to see alot more of this because people just don't pay attention. They expect lights to flash and bells to ring and barriers to come down. Pay attention.....and look both ways before crossing......like your momma taught you. :)
Near-miss at Ufton rail crash site to be investigated
An investigation into a near miss at the Uften Nervet level crossing - the same crossing where a derailment in 2004 caused the deaths of seven people - happened earlier this month has been launched.
The barriers stopping traffic from driving over the line while trains are approaching failed to come down as the 11.13am train from London Paddington to Bedwyn crossed at 12.12pm on Sunday, September 4.
A car approaching the crossing, which is between Theale and Aldermaston, had slam on its brakes to avoid a collision with the train.
Now the Rail Accident Investigation Branch is investigating the incident to see what went wrong and how to make sure a serious accident does not happen.
An RAID spokesman said: "The RAIB's preliminary investigation found that the level crossing was being controlled locally at the time of the incident. The person controlling the crossing had not received any instruction to lower the barriers before the train arrived."
The near miss happened after that stretch of the line had been closed overnight for engineering works. One of the lines had been reopened and was being used for trains in both directions.
The spokesman added: "The RAIB investigation will include an examination of the arrangements for re-opening the railway to normal train services - particularly the workload on signallers and the arrangements for operating trains in both directions on the same line.
"It will also examine staff competence and fitness."
The incident happened on the same stretch of track where a collision with a car caused the derailment of a train from Paddington to Plymouth in 2004 which killed seven people and left 37 others with serious injuries.

Derailment may imperil residents
Authorities close road near Ruston
The Lincoln Parish Sheriff's Office evacuated an area in the vicinity of U.S. 80 near Sims Road in Lincoln Parish because of the derailment of a Kansas City Southern train.
Officials said Sunday night residents were being asked to leave as a precaution until law enforcement can determine what's in the derailed cars.
U.S. 80 near Sims Road is closed.
Officials said the derailment was first reported about 7 p.m.
State Police said around 8:30 p.m. they had no reports of injuries.
The derailment is between Choudrant and Ruston.
In November 2007 many residents in the area were evacuated and several roads closed when 11 railcars of a westbound Kansas City Southern train left the track just west of a trestle near Sims Road in Lincoln Parish.
Among the derailed cars were five tankers carrying butadiene, a highly flammable, butane-like substance.
Additional information relating to Sunday's derailment was not available.

Derailed train causes road closure in Northeast Austin
A derailed Capital Metro train near the intersection of Daffan Lane and Johnny Morris Road in Northeast Austin will have westbound Daffan Lane closed for another couple hours, authorities said.
Capital Metro spokesman Adam Shaivitz said the derailment was, “Not something I would describe as major.”
“It’s not a situation with cars on their sides, just off the track,” Shaivitz said.
The “nine or 10” empty rail cars that derailed around 6:30 p.m. Friday were moving Westbound in an area Shaivitz said trains do not usually exceed 10 mph.
Shaivitz said Capital Metro has brought in a re-railing crew and it’s possible the whole situation would not be cleaned up until the early morning hours. Any rail cars in blocking traffic would likely be cleared within a couple hours, he said.
He was not able to say why the train derailed, but said crews will inspect the tracks to determine
whether they could have caused the derailment.

Updated: September 18, 2011 2:27 PM ESTCrews work to repair tracks after train derailment in Erie (Updated: 2:25 p.m.)
CSX crews were working today to repair train tracks after Saturday's derailment in downtown Erie.
No word was available yet on what caused seven of the eastbound freight train's cars to leave the tracks just south of 14th Street near State Street. Local and corporate CSX officials couldn't be reached for comment on what happened Saturday or today's repairs.
No one was injured in the derailment, which happened Saturday at about 1:20 p.m.
Crews today were clearing debris and putting down new tracks this afternoon between State and Peach streets.
Trains were moving today on the northernmost set of tracks in that area while crews worked on a center set that had been damaged.
Several derailed cars remained near trees on the north side of the tracks.
One of the cars that left the tracks was a tanker carrying propane but it wasn't believed to be leaking and no evacuation was ordered.

An interesting article...
Officials: Train derailment frequency ‘troublesome’
GALVESTON COUNTY, Texas—The frequency at which cargo trains roll off tracks and overturn along a stretch of highway from Hitchcock to Santa Fe has one official concerned.
The latest derailment involving BNSF Railway track happened about 8 p.m. Tuesday and prompted the brief, precautionary evacuation of 14 residents from Freddiesville. No injuries were reported.Firefighters and law enforcement officers ordered the roughly two-hour evacuation as a precaution until the railway could ascertain the nature of an Ethanol leak, Hitchcock Volunteer Fire Department Chief Bill Scott said.
Tuesday’s derailment marked the second one this year on the BNSF track between Santa Fe and Hitchcock and the fourth since 2009.
”We’re all concerned about it,” said Santa Fe Mayor Ralph Stenzel. “With so many derailments in such a short amount of time, it’s troublesome. There must be something wrong. If it’s not the speed, it must be with the tracks.”Stenzel said the crashes started happening after trains began moving 55 mph instead of 45 mph. (NONSENSE)
The track passes in front of a school and through other small communities.
“Up until a few years ago we haven’t had any derailments,” said Stanzel, worried that someone’s eventually going to get hurt.
The company that maintains the rails says the latest crash is under investigation. BNSF also says crews inspect the rails routinely.
Meanwhile, area leaders say they will keep asking questions until they figure out what’s causing the trouble on the tracks.

Train derails in Telford
A load of rubber pellets needed some help to bounce back after the railroad car in which they were being carried derailed Thursday afternoon in Telford.
The train derailed a little before reaching Washington Avenue at East Broad Street, Telford Borough Police Sgt. James Minninger said.
“The train crew tried to pull the car forward and re-right the car and get it back on track,” Minninger said.
They only got as far as Washington Avenue before getting stuck.
“It did not want to go forward or back,” Minninger said. “Here it sat.”
Repair crews were called in about 1:30 p.m., about an hour after the derailment, he said.
The crews worked through the afternoon before getting the train back on track about 5:30 p.m.
Neighbor Randy Pforter, who arrived home in time to see the last couple hours of the work, said the train rocked and appeared to almost fall at one point during efforts to get it back on track.
“A heavy rail car like that, you’re using wooden blocks instead of getting a crane in here of some type,” Pforter said as he watched the work continue. “It’s ridiculous. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
The derailed train included an engine marked East Penn Railways 3153 and a freight car.
The freight car was carrying rubber pellets for manufacturing, Minninger said. The pellets were not a hazardous substance and there was no danger of leaks, he said.http://www.montgomerynews.com/articles/2011/09/15/souderton_indepen...

Commuter chaos as train derails
16 Sep, 2011 09:10 AMThere are major delays in both directions on the Illawarra, South Coast and Eastern Suburbs lines this morning.
The network is in chaos after a private freight train derailed near Tempe.
Commuters should expect delays of at least 40 minutes, with the possibility of reduced service frequency and longer journey times.
A RailCorp spokesman said it appears the train derailed at around 3.45 am between Tempe and Arncliffe.
‘‘Evidence suggests a wagon derailed and caused damage to the track and point switches,’’ the spokesman said.
‘‘The train appears to have managed to re-rail itself when it came to a stop at Tempe.’’
RailCorp staff and civil engineers are on site inspecting the damage and working to repair the track

Train derails near Adams
Several cars derailed in Guthrie, Ky. overnight near the Robertson County line.
A train derailed early Thursday morning near Robertson County in the city of Guthrie, Ky., shutting down train traffic in the area.
Approximately 10-20 cars derailed from a 64-car train at approximately 5:30 a.m. near Adams, according to Tim Pulley of the Todd County Emergency Management.
Pulley said several of the train cars were folded up “accordion style.”
“I’ve seen cars off the tracks before, but this is the first time I have ever seen this accordion effect,” Pulley said.
The train was traveling southbound hauling freight at the time of the derailment. The train was not hauling hazardous materials and no one was injured in the incident, Pulley said.
The track was severely damaged in the derailment. All train traffic is halted through the area, according to Pulley.
The cause of the derailment is unknown at this time.
