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. |

A Kalyan-bound local train was derailed from its tracks as it rolled out of CST station at 8.42 am yesterday, wreaking havoc on railway schedules
A Kalyan-bound local train derailed from its tracks at 8.42 am yesterday, throwing train services awry and inconveniencing thousands of passengers. While some had to undertake hazardous treks on the tracks back to stations, others were stranded in halted trains, or at stations waiting for delayed trains.
Back on track: The tracks were cleared at 7 pm, after nearly 50 workers
pushed the derailed coach towards the platform. New tracks were also

The train started out from platform number 7 of CST, and deviated from the rails even as it was rolling out of the platform. Sources claim that the reason for the derailment could have been a problem in a coach. Owing to the snag, the train failed to navigate a steep curve, causing part of the coach to tilt at an angle of 45 degrees from the track.
"A detailed enquiry will be conducted. Prima facie, it seems there was some problem with the coach, and not with the track," said a senior Central Railway official on condition of anonymity.
Sources have revealed that the derailment occurred owing to a mismatch between the pace of the underlying frame of the train and its wheels, which displaced the coach completely. The train was moving at a speed of 15 km per hour, with only four commuters sitting inside the coach that was derailed.
Other officials claimed that the derailment might have resulted from lack of maintenance.
Commissioner of Railway Safety Chetan Bakshi paid a visit to the spot soon after the incident, and promised that he would conduct an inquiry. Due to the derailment, the train was dragged for a distance of nearly 50 metres along the track before it came to a halt.
Services disrupted
The derailment threw train schedules awry throughout the day. Some 120 services had to be cancelled, and trains moving towards CST and Kalyan ran late by an hour.
Sangita Holkar, an inconvenienced commuter said, "I somehow managed to catch a train from Thane. But the train was cancelled at Kurla. I waited for nearly half an hour to board another train. It took 45 minutes for the train to reach Dadar from Kurla."
Commuters who boarded CST-bound trains from Kalyan in the early morning hours took nearly three hours to reach their destination.
The mishap also disrupted the departure of the long-distance Mumbai-Kolhapur Koyna Express. The train, which was waiting to depart from a platform in the station at the time of the mishap, was eventually cancelled.
Prabhakar Rankhambe, who boarded the train with his family, said, "We came to Mumbai to attend a family function, and were supposed to leave for Kolhapur this morning. We heard repeated announcements that the train would depart soon, but were kept waiting. Only at 1:30 pm was it announced that the Koyna Express was cancelled."
Meanwhile, the fast trains moving towards CST had to be diverted at Byculla. Most trains ran 15-20 minutes late all day.
Though the accident did not claim any lives, Buddhiram (42), a commuter panicked and jumped out of the derailed train, sustaining some minor injuries. "He twisted his ankle and has been admitted to the Railway Hospital in Byculla," said Rahul Jain, divisional railway manager, Central Railway.
The tracks were finally cleared at around 7 pm, after nearly 50 workers pushed the derailed coach towards the platform. The other half of the train was kept waiting on pla

21 hurt after train derails
INLSA
The train that derailed near Isipingo after a car landed on the tracks.
A Durban motorist being chased by metro police crashed off a bridge and landed on the train tracks below, causing an oncoming train to derail.
The driver managed to escape from the car before the train ploughed into it.
Twenty-one people were injured, one of them seriously, in the incident near Isipingo yesterday afternoon.
Metro police spokesman Eugene Msomi said the police had wanted to pull over the car because the driver was acting suspiciously.
“The traffic officers tried to stop the car but the man drove past. The officers gave chase and called for back-up. We suspect that the car may be stolen or hijacked,” he said.
Metro police said the driver failed to negotiate a bend and crashed through a bridge and landed on the railway line.
A Metrorail train then hit the car and left the tracks.
The Passenger Rail Agency of SA said two coaches had derailed and serious damage had been caused to infrastructure.
ER24 paramedics spokesman Derrick Banks said the car was found wedged between one of the coaches and the wall of the bridge.
Paramedics found the injured passengers sitting on the railway line near the train. They were taken to local hospitals.

Problem may have been with derailed coach
MUMBAI: Unit failure could be the reason for the derailment of the sixth coach of the Kalyan-bound train that led to a massive disruption of rail traffic on Wednesday.
A senior official said, "There is no evidence to identify any particular fault and the detailed inquiry is being conducted by the commissioner of railway safety (CRS). We can speculate on unit-related failure because the derailment happened after five coaches passed the accident spot. There was no visible damage to the track. But the tongue rail, the part on the tracks that helps a train cross from one line to another, suffered damages as the derailed wheels were dragged ahead while the train was in motion."
Another theory is that the train wheels touched the fish-plate, a metal bar bolted at the ends of two rails to join them together in a track. A senior official said, "This can happen only if either the track or the wheel has got eroded. Another option is to remove the fishplate at the yard. We can try out continuous or long-welded rail method in which the lengths of the rail are welded to join them together in a track."

Two injured after train derails in cyclone flooding
Updated
Two men have been injured after they were trapped in a freight train that was swept off a bridge near Katherine, south of Darwin.
The train derailed near the Edith Falls River Crossing in floodwaters caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Grant.
Heavy rain from the system, which is now a tropical low, has brought heavy rain and isolated flooding to the Northern Territory, cutting sections of the Stuart Highway.
Are you in a flood-affected area in the NT? Send in your photos
Police say the train's driver and co-driver have been rescued by emergency workers and are being taken to the Katherine District Hospital to be assessed.
Earlier, a CareFlight helicopter attempted to rescue the men, but had to return to Darwin because it was unable to land in the wet conditions.
The Member for Katherine, Willem Westra Van Holthe, says the Edith River Bridge has collapsed and carriages are floating downstream.
"It's what I'd describe as a scene of devastation here," he said.
"Apart from the enormous amount of water flowing across the road, there's sheets of bitumen that have been lifted off and carried away and also it appears as though the train tried to get across this morning while the river has flooded.
"The train bridge appears to have collapsed."
Pair swept away
NT police have also rescued two people who were swept from their car in the flooding.
A man and a woman were swept off the roof of their car on the Edith River Bridge after it aquaplaned and stalled about 2am.
They were able to cling to a tree about 50 metres downstream and were rescued a short time later.
A flood warning is in effect for some low-lying parts of Katherine.
There are road closures at the Edith River Bridge Crossing and the Cullen River Crossing in the Pine Creek and Douglas Daly region.
NT Police spokesman Tony Deutrom says officers in the area have been monitoring the situation.
"From Pine Creek south we've got police on-site and have been in and out through the night," he said.
"In Katherine up to Edith Bridge, had emergency services out during the night as well.
"The Katherine emergency operations centre's been activated overnight."
