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 derails east of Glasgow
7:04 PM, Jul 17, 2012GLASGOW – There is a 17-car train derailment on the BNSF single-track main rail line 20 miles miles east of Glasgow, BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas said in a phone interview Tuesday evening.
A 40-person team has responded to clear the scene, Melonas said. Train traffic is being rerouted through Great Falls and Montana Rail Link line, Melonas said. He said crews are hopeful that the line will be opened sometime Wednesday. The train derailed at 3:41 p.m. Tuesday.
The line handles 30 trains a day.
The train that derailed was an intermodal train made up of four locomotives and 57 cars, according to Melonas.
Some of the cars are stacked up “accordion style,” Melonas said.
No train personnel were injured in the derailment and there does not appear to be a threat to people or the environment, but a hazardous material crew has responded to assess the damage because there were hazardous materials aboard the train, Melonas said.
