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.

MTA work train derails in Brooklyn — three times

July 9 2017

An MTA work train has derailed in Brooklyn three times in the past two days — but the transit agency still sent it back out on the tracks, according to a union source.

The train was working on ballast rock near West 8th Street in Brooklyn when it jumped the tracks around 10:30 a.m. Sunday, the source said.

The locomotive was quickly righted but moved a mere two feet before again hopping off the tracks again at 12:45 p.m., the source said.

“This same train derailed at Coney Island Yard yesterday,” the source fumed. “The MTA knows this train has an issue and they sent it out to the main line anyway.”

No passengers were involved, and no injuries have been reported.

The MTA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Derailed train damages Highway 59 bridge in Jefferson, Texas

July 7 2017

Highway 59 is closed in Jefferson, Texas, after a train derailed, damaging a bridge over the railroad tracks.

The derailment happened about 10:30 a.m. Friday when crews switching Kansas City Southern freight cars hit a Union Pacific train at an interlocker -- a spot where train tracks cross perpendicular to each other.

Three KCS cars and 13 Union Pacific cars derailed. The Union Pacific train was carrying intermodal containers from Port Laredo, Texas, to a rail yard near Chicago.

Marion County Sheriff David McKnight said no one was injured, and no hazardous materials spilled.

The bridge will remain closed until state highway engineers inspect the damage.

The railroads are investigating the crash.

"Our biggest concern right now is traffic control," McKnight said.

Highway 59 traffic is being detoured onto FM 2208, SH 49, FM 248 and FM 1324.

Amtrak train derails near Tacoma; no major injuries

9:54 p.m. ET July 2, 2017

Police in western Washington State said an Amtrak train derailment southwest of Tacoma threatened to send several rail cars into the Puget Sound but resulted in only minor injuries.

The derailment took place Sunday afternoon in the Chambers Bay area near Steilacoom, Wash., The (Tacoma) News Tribune reported.

Passengers were being evacuated and police from nearby Gig Harbor, Wash., said they were assisting with patrol boats. The Pierce County, Wash., Sheriff's Department said there were only minor injuries.

Lakewood, Wash., police said a patrol and marine service unit was on the scene assisting in evacuating passengers, several of whom tweeted photos of the wreckage — they featured rail cars tipped on their sides on a narrow stretch of land a few feet above water.

In a statement, Amtrak said Train 506 was traveling between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Eugene-Springfield, Ore., with 267 passengers onboard, when it derailed at the Chambers Bay Bridge. Amtrak confirmed only minor injuries among the passengers, and said no crew members were injured. The cause of the derailment was under investigation.

Paul Zerfluh, whose son was on the train, said it braked with no warning and came "to a violent stop,” according to his son.

“All of a sudden the realization is they’ve got cars that have broken outside the line of the tracks, and they’re dangling on the rocks, close to the water,” he told the News Tribune.

The area is about 10 miles southwest of Tacoma. Train tracks in the area run alongside the Puget Sound.
