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 wagons 'jumped' at level crossing in Sutherland
Network Rail were alerted to the derailment of a freight train after a member of the public saw some of its 27 empty wagons "jump".
The train had been travelling from Georgemas in Caithness to Hartlepool on 23 February this year.
Parts of a brake broke and fell on to the tracks at Dalchalm level crossing in Sutherland causing the last wagon to derail, according to a new report.
It re-railed at another level crossing about 340m (0.2mile) down the line.
No-one was hurt in the incident.
A newly-published Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) report said a man living near the Dalchalm crossing had seen some of the wagons "jump".
When the train had passed he found parts of the broken brake and alerted a signaller at Inverness.
The train driver, who had been unaware of the derailment, stopped between Golspie and Rogart.
After finding the damaged brake he considered it unsafe to continue any further and called for assistance.

Train derails in C’nawabganj
Rail communication of Chapainawabganj with Rohanpur of the district and Rajshahi remained suspended for six and a half hours since Thursday morning after a passenger train derailed near Chapainawabganj Railway Station.
According to railway sources, four wheels of a compartment of Chapainawabganj-bound Mahananda Express from Khulna veered off the tracks just before entering the station around 5:00am.
Mohammad Moniruzzaman, stationmaster of Chapainawabganj Railway Station, said the train service on the routes resumed around 11:30am after mechanics from Amnura Railway Junction reached the spot and salvaged the bogie.
The accident may have occurred due to faulty tracks, reports our Chapainawabganj correspondent quoting the railway officials.
Earlier, Rajshahi Express, a Rajshahi-bound passenger train, derailed at the same spot on April 19 while another Rajshahi-bound passenger train derailed at Mohadanga in Chapainawabganj town on July 24 due to faults in the rail tracks.

I looked for news immediately after but nothing had been on RSOE or breaking news on google. That's the 1st thing I thought of too but I remember reading an article earlier in the morning that standard mph had been reduced saying slower trains would reduce the risk of derailments. That came in just enough time which is suspect since we know USGS holds on to information and waits for the OK to post their findings. I'm wondering if the (real) graphs that we don't get to see (until altered) had shown the administration that we were about to have a shakeup in VA.......interesting.

Rangpur Express, the intercity train inaugurated on Sunday, derailed in Tangail Tuesday morning, delaying the journey by about seven hours.
Railway officials said the engine of the train derailed with a passenger coach at Mohera Railway Station at about 11:30am. The train with seven passenger coaches left Kamalapur Railway Station for Rangpur at 9:30am.
They said derailment occurred due to a mistake by the driver while giving passage to Silk City from Rajshahi.
“Usually, a train enters a side loop and waits there for another train to pass. But the driver of Rangpur Express continued running the train after entering the loop that caused derailment,” said a railway official.
The assistant director (operation) of Bangladesh Railway said an engine was sent to the scene from Dhaka.
“The train left Tangail for Rangpur at about 6:30pm, leaving the derailed engine and the coach at the spot,” he told The Daily Star.
Rangpur Express which was supposed to reach Rangpur at 7:00pm will be delayed by at least seven hours. This means the train will reach Rangpur seven hours late, causing immense suffering to the passengers.
Communications Minister Syed Abul Hossain inaugurated the first intercity train between Dhaka-Rangpur Sundayy evening.
The 11-compartment train runs twice daily, excepting Sunday. It leaves Rangpur station at 7:40pm and reaches Dhaka at 6:35am, taking almost 11 hours. On the other hand, the train leaves Dhaka at 9:00am and is scheduled to reach Rangpur at 7:00pm.

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.
