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): |

JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -
Eighteen Canadian National Railway train cars derailed off of the tracks in Jackson Friday morning, calling for heavy equipment crews to help clear the scene. The derailment occurred around 6:48 AM near McDowell Road, in south Jackson.
Canadian National Spokesman Patrick Waldron says 17 of the derailed cars were filled with grain and the other was empty.
Waldron says no one was injured, but the tracks between Jackson and New Orleans would probably be closed most of the day while crews worked to clear the derailed cars.
That means a delay for the Amtrak's "City of New Orleans" which was scheduled to use that route this afternoon. It also means a delay for Canadian National freight shipments.
Canadian National has not yet said how long it may take to repair the damage.

Toxic Train Derailment Evacuates Hundreds in North Carolina Town (Feb 2)
The town of Bladenboro is currently being evacuated following a train derailment. Officials said 10 of the 105 cars overturned and one was full of ammonia.
Emergency personnel say the derailment happened around 3:30 p.m. in the town south of Fayetteville.
The train belongs to CSX. The transportation company is handling the draining of ammonia so that people can get back into their homes. At 9:45 p.m., the long process had not yet started.
Because moving the cars may be time consuming and hazardous, up to 400 nearby residents were forced to evacuate. All residents from Seaboard Street to Village Street were included in the evacuation.
Those that did not stay with nearby family are staying at an emergency shelter at Bladenboro Middle School. Officials said there are more than 30 people staying at the school Saturday night.
"We don't have a car we called the cops and told them and they sent an ambulance out there they picked us up and brought us here," said evacuee Rafael Masso
Another evacuee told ABC11 her husband heard a loud sound about the same time the train derailed. About an hour later, a police officer was at their door.
"He came and knocked on the door and then he had a bullhorn outside saying we had to evacuate," said evacuee Filicia Lilley McKee.

Tuesday storm derails train near Chaffee
Thursday, January 31, 2013
ROCKVIEW, Mo. -- High winds and heavy downpours that swept across the area Tuesday night are reported to have damaged property, blown two tractor-trailers over and caused several Union Pacific rail cars to derail near Chaffee.
No local fatalities were reported.
Trooper Clark Parrott, spokesman for the Missouri State Highway Patrol, attributes that to people being warned in advance of the approaching storm.
"There were weather warnings issued almost all day before the storm arrived in the area," Parrott said. "I think a lot of people heeded those warnings and stayed inside. Otherwise, there may have been more serious injuries for us to report."
Robert E. Wyatt of Dexter, Mo., received moderate injuries when wind blew his tractor-trailer off Highway 25 about one mile north of Delta. Parrott said another driver was uninjured when his tractor-trailer overturned on Highway 25 south of Bernie, Mo.
There were no injuries involved in the derailment of Union Pacific rail cars in Rockview, Mo., in Scott County north of Chaffee, Mo. Nearly 50 rail cars were overturned by the winds, and approximately 800 feet of damaged track will need to be repaired or replaced. Mark Davis, a spokesman for Union Pacific, confirmed Wednesday that the railroad company's preliminary report on the incident will blame winds for the derailment.
The cars were carrying auto parts. Davis said the engineer was slowing the train after hearing tornado warning reports from a dispatcher, and the emergency brakes were engaged.
Weather might have contributed to an accident that shut down northbound Interstate 55 at Cape Girardeau when a tractor-trailer jackknifed and was hit by a car driven by Cape Girardeau County Judge Scott Lipke, but a police accident report wasn't complete Wednesday.
The National Weather Service stayed busy Tuesday night, gathering information and issuing weather reports that at times included threats of tornadoes.
"There were straight-line winds generated by the storm that blew between 60 to 70 miles per hour," said Christine Wielgos, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Paducah, Ky. "There were reports of funnel clouds in Southeast Missouri, but right now we have no confirmation of there being any actual tornadoes."
Wielgos added that, to be sure, the National Weather Service had sent damage-assessment teams to hard-hit locations in Illinois and Kentucky to investigate if tornadoes had touched down.
Cape Girardeau County Emergency Management reported roofs of many homes in the county lost shingles and barns collapsed in rural areas. Trees also were downed across the area, and many Ameren customers lost power Tuesday night.
The storm's strength was evident in Delta, where the wind blew strips of metal and lumber from the roof of Delta One Stop, a grocery and general merchandise store, onto State Street and even into a nearby house.

Commuters injured after train derails at Brisbane railway station
- January 31, 2013
Thirteen passengers, a driver and a guard were on board when the train's front carriage crashed onto the platform and into the toilets about 9.40am (10.40am AEDT).
Fourteen people were injured, including 10 rushed to hospital.
Live powerlines came down on the middle of the train, but the passengers managed to exit from the rear with only minor injuries.
The men's toilets were all but destroyed.
One woman was trapped inside the women's toilets, which partly imploded from the impact.
Mikayla Gede heard the crash from outside the station and raced inside with her friend Emily Benson. They heard a woman trapped inside the toilets crying for help.
"We wrenched the door open," she said.
"The woman got out and said she was okay.
"It was really smashed up in there. The wall had come down in the shape of the front of a train, and it had gone through the male bathroom and into the female."
Ms Benson said she had been about to catch a train on her way to a TAFE college.
"If I had gone 10 minutes earlier I could have been on the platform and died," she said.
Acting Cleveland Fire Station officer Rob Hawxwell was one of the first at the scene about 9.45am (AEST) in the bayside suburb.
"(It has) caused a lot of carnage and damage," he said. "The passengers were very lucky."
Halfway through the search Mr Hawxwell learned his son had been about to go into the station toilets when the train hit.
"My son heard a loud bang and then got out of the station pretty quickly," Mr Hawxwell said. "It wasn't a good message to get."
The passengers were treated at the scene, with 10 taken to hospital as a precaution before being released.
Mr Hawxwell said Queensland Rail would determine whether an electrical fault led to the crash.
The corrugated iron roof of the station building, which was completed only six months ago, was torn to shreds by the impact.
Redlands Mayor Karen Williams said the driver was "in shock''.
"We're very fortunate there haven't been serious injuries,’' she told ABC Radio.
''(It must have been) a very scary event for most of the people on the train.''
Peter Stevens, who lives near the station, said it sounded "like a car smashing into a brick wall".
"It's not something you see every day. It's quiet old Cleveland, on one of the quietest days of the week," he told AAP Superintendent Jim Keogh said the train was approaching the station from the city when it derailed.
The police forensic crash unit is investigating.
Queensland Rail spokeswoman Neva Woolmer said: "We believe there are no serious injuries; however emergency services and Queensland Rail staff are on site."
"The Rail Safety Regulator has been informed.''
