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): |

Freight train derailment under investigation
Updated
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating the cause of a freight train derailment in north-eastern South Australia on Thursday.
The derailment at Yunta, about 200 kilometres south-west of Broken Hill, has forced the closure of the track and trains travelling between Sydney and Adelaide are being diverted through Melbourne until early next week.
The train was en route from Perth to Sydney when ten wagons came off the track.
The derailment sparked a small fire which was contained by the Country Fire Service.
The Australian Rail Track Corporation says about 300 metres of track have been damaged.
The bureau's general manager of surface safety investigations, Peter Foley, says it will take about a month to work out what caused the accident.
"We look at the site. We download the data recorders from the locomotive and that tells us what speed the train's been doing, what the power settings were on the locomotive, what the brake settings were, et cetera," he said.
"We talk to the witnesses that are involved. In this case it'll be the train driver obviously.
"We ascertain which was the first wagon to derail, we look at potential mechanisms for that derailment, whether it might have been something on the wagon, or it might have been something in relation to the track and we go through a process whereby we eliminate the possibilities."

Imperial train derailment; houses evacuated
4:57 PM, Jan 11, 2013
Imperial train derailmentIMPERIAL, Mo. (KSDK) - Nearly 20 homes in an Imperial neighborhood had to be evacuated Friday afternoon following a train derailment.
Eight train cars derailed from a southbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe train. The derailment happened around 2:30 p.m. just south of Imperial, MO on Main Street.
The homes evacuated were located on Church Hill Court.
Authorities at the scene said the cars were empty, but the home evacuations were done as a precautionary measure because of the possibility residual hazardous materials leaking out.
Two of the cars were identified as having hazardous chemicals within: potassium hydroxide and ethyl glycol, respectively. Ethyl glycol is commonly used as an automotive antifreeze. In its pure form, it is odorless and colorless. It can be fatal if ingested. Potassium hydroxide is a caustic material used in industrial processes, such as drain cleaners and leather tanning chemicals.
The train company has dispatched a HAZMAT team to work with local authorities in clearing the area.
Residents were allowed to return to their homes before 5 p.m., but instructed to stay away from the train tracks.
