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 Collision Near Waterloo
August 19, 2011 Updated Aug 19, 2011 at 12:25 PM EDTWATERLOO, Indiana (Indiana's NewsCenter) -- Highway 6 was closed for nearly two hours Friday morning in Waterloo after a freight train derailed two grain rail cars.
Norfolk Southern officials say the engine of a west bound freight train stuck another train that was stopped on tracks at US 6 and County Road 427 around 5:25 Friday morning.
As a result of the collision, two locomotives and 16 rail cars were knocked off the tracks. The stopped train had 132 cars and 120 were reported to be empty. No hazardous materials were included in the other 12 cars, but corn did spill at the site from at least one car.
The train that struck the stopped train was carrying ballast (rock).The accident shut down both tracks and caused disruptions in Amtrak's passenger service. Norfolk Southern is hoping to open the tracks by late this afternoon.
There were no injuries reported and no material leakage. Power lines were knocked down causing power outages around the area. This is the 2nd derailment in the past 17 months in Waterloo. Thirty-eight cars derailed from a coal train in March of 2010.
