Train Derailments on the Rise January 21, 2026
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, Closes Streets near Shrewsbury and Landsdowne Avenues
Shrewsbury Fire Chief William Fox said a train derailed on a bridge crossing Murdoch Avenue at about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Shrewsbury officials closed several streets near Shrewsbury and Landsdowne avenues due to a train derailment that occurred at about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, the stltoday.com news website reported.
By noon today, the news website reported that the train and a derailed car were gone and that officials were waiting for equipment to remove a damaged walkway and other debris from the bridge deck.
The 7200 block of Landsdowne remained closed to traffic, the website reported.
Shrewsbury Fire Chief William Fox said, to a Post-Dispatch reporter on Saturday night, that the train derailed after leaving a yard at McCausland Avenue and while crossing a bridge on Murdoch Avenue.
Fox said at least one train car is a tanker holding the cleaning agent ethyleneamines. The tanker was not leaking, he told the Post-Dispatch reporter.
The car was taken to the train yard this morning, the website reported.
By noon today, Shrewsbury Police Lt. Brian Catlett said railroad officials told him one train car was off the tracks before leaving the yard. The train travelled about three-quarters of a mile before the off-track car struck a wooden walkway beside the track on the bridge.
Five houses east of the tracks were evacuated as a precaution and MetroLink service was shut down at Maplewood on the southbound Shrewsbury line, the news website reported late last night.
By noon, railroad engineers said the concrete and steel trestle bridge were safe for train traffic, Catlett told a Post-Dispatch reporter. MetroLink trains are running through the area again.
This is a double whammy as the train derailed and the bridge partially collapsed so what comes first. the chicken or the egg???
A train derails in Amherst for the second time in two weeks.
The latest derailment happened Saturday near the Poor Farm Swamp in Amherst, off Station Street.
Seven cars went off the tracks and a few even went into the swamp. Officials are still investigating the cause of the derailment, but they do note this latest derailment happened close to another one that occurred two weeks ago.
No one was injured in the accident, and the contents of the cars are still unknown.
Train derails in Shrewsbury, forcing street closings
A freight train derailed late Saturday night in Shrewsbury, prompting authorities to close several streets near Shrewsbury and Landsdowne avenues.
Shrewsbury Fire Chief William Fox said the derailment occurred about 10:30 pm on a bridge crossing Murdoch Avenue. The train was just leaving a nearby yard at McCausland Avenue, he said.
Fox wasn't sure how many cars derailed. But at least one was a tanker containing ethyleneamines, a corrosive substance used as a cleaning agent, he said. He said the tanker was not leaking.
Five houses east of the tracks were evacuated as a precautionary measure, and Metrolink service on the southbound Shrewsbury line was shut down at Maplewood.
About 12:30 am, emergency workers were waiting for railroad engineers to inspect the bridge to determine its stability.
This story sticks out for me as Zetas said as the earth changes pick up and people become subconsciously aware that something is amiss, workers will not pay attention as they daydream and man made accidents will occur much more frequently.

Nevada: Truck Collides With Train
Two people were killed and at least 20 were injured on Friday morning when a tractor-trailer collided with a California-bound Amtrak train in a remote part of western Nevada. The crash occurred at a crossing about 75 miles east of Reno when the driver of the truck apparently drove into the side of the California Zephyr, which was traveling from Chicago to the Bay Area with more than 200 passengers and 14 crew members aboard, Amtrak officials said.
Trooper Dan Lopez with the Nevada Highway Patrol said that the driver of the tractor-trailer rig and one passenger on the train were killed, and that the injured were taken by helicopter and ambulance to hospitals in Reno and Fallon. The severity of the injuries was not immediately clear, he said. Several train cars briefly caught fire, though the train did not derail. Trooper Lopez said that an eyewitness indicated that the crossing gate was working and that it was down at the time of the crash. The investigation is continuing, he said.
RCMP blocked traffic along Highway 881 outside of Fort McMurray Thursday afternoon as a result of a six-car train derailment, near mile marker 268 roughly eight kilometres from Anzac.
The derailment occurred around 12:30 p.m. on a southbound CN train. CN officials responded immediately and the cause of the derailment is under investigation. No injuries were reported in the derailment. The cars were carrying sulfur, some of which leaked at the scene, but a CN representative says they aren't aware of immediate risk to the public
In addition to CN, regional emergency services responded on scene, as did a helicopter from Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, and representatives from Alberta Environment.
A passenger train has been derailed by a mudstream.
The train – operated by German railway company Deutsche Bahn AG, had to abandon its ride after it was hit by a mudflow near Zirl, Tyrol, on Saturday evening. None of its 25 passengers were injured. They continued their journey to Innsbruck via coach.
Local authorities said today (Mon) the affected track had to be shut to remove the masses of mud. The region was just one of many Austrian areas which experienced powerful thunderstorms at the weekend.
