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): |

GRAETTINGER, Ia. — Several fuel tank cars carrying ethanol burst into flames before dawn Friday after a freight train derailed in northwestern Iowa, authorities said.
The derailment occurred around 1 a.m., near Graettinger, about 160 miles northwest of Des Moines, the Palo Alto County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. It said two crew members escaped unharmed. Nearby residents were asked to evacuate the area and no injuries have been reported.
Raquel Espinoza, a spokeswoman for Union Pacific, confirmed that the train is operated by that railroad company, but she declined to say more, referring questions to the National Transportation Safety Board.
Palo Alto County emergency management director Mark Hunefeld said at least 27 of 101 cars derailed, including the burning tanks. Eight cars were still burning as of 7 a.m., the sheriff's office said. Railroad personnel were able to unhitch 74 loaded tankers and move them from the site.
Sasha Forsen, spokeswoman for Green Plains Inc. in Omaha, confirmed that the tanks had been filled with ethanol at the company's plant in Superior, Iowa. She declined to say where the shipment was heading.
NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said agency investigators would be at the derailment site to determine the cause of the accident Friday afternoon.

An eastbound freight train derailed in south suburban Blue Island during rush hour Tuesday afternoon.
Several cars were seen off the tracks and flipped at 135th Street and Chatham.
It was not immediately clear what caused the derailment. No one was injured. The three derailed cars were empty and the other cars were carrying mixed freight.
"Safety is CSX’s highest priority, and that includes the safety of our employees and the communities where we operate. Our goal is zero accidents, and we work to achieve that goal every day," a spokesman for the rail company said in a statement. "The cause of this incident will be investigated, and any lessons learned through the investigation will be applied to avoid additional, similar events in the future. We apologize for any disruptions this has caused nearby residents."
The cleanup process was expected to last into the morning hours of Wednesday, the spokesman said.
There were no major traffic disruptions.

A CSX Corp freight train containing hazardous materials partially derailed in the area of Newburgh, New York, on Tuesday, but the cars with dangerous substances appear to have been unbreached, an official with the railroad company said.
Diesel fuel did leak on the ground from three locomotives that derailed, and CSX sent hazardous materials and environmental experts to deal with the spill, company spokesman Rob Doolittle said in an email statement.
Some of the 20 railroad cars that derailed were carrying the hazardous materials sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide and aqueous bisulfites, the statement said.
"There are still no reports of any leaks or spills of hazardous materials from those cars," it said.
The cause of the derailment, which occurred about 60 miles (97 km) north of New York City, is under investigation.
Two CSX maintenance employees who at the time were working in the area were transported to area hospitals for injuries that are not believed to be life threatening, Doolittle said in the email.
The train was traveling from Selkirk, New York, to Waycross, Georgia, according to CSX. Dozens of cars in the train stayed on the tracks.
The Times Herald-Record, a newspaper based in nearby Middletown, said the train derailed after striking a forklift being driven across the tracks, citing officials and witnesses.
A representative for the Orange County, New York, office of emergency management, which was handling the derailment, could not immediately be reached for comment
The derailment occurred on the same day that a CSX cargo train struck a tour bus that officials say was stopped at a railroad crossing in Biloxi, Mississippi, in a collision that killed four people.
GRADY COUNTY, Okla. - A train derailed northeast of Cement Monday afternoon (Mar6).

Sixteen cars went off the tracks around 3:30 p.m. near CR 1400 and 2757.
They landed just feet away from Katy Turner’s home.
“I have never seen this before, always had the fear of it,” Turner said. “I just thank God it didn't hit my clubhouse with my grandkids in it.”
First responders rushed to the scene not knowing what they would be dealing with.
“The rail is a chosen method of transportation of a lot of material, including some hazardous materials. So, it's always a chance that something could be catastrophic based on what's on the train and where the incident occurs,” said Buddy Myers, the Grady County District Fire Chief.
Thankfully, that was not the case.
“No hazardous materials involved. Only railroad property has been damaged. No vehicles were on the public roadways were struck. No damage to personal property. So, it's a best case scenario for us,” Myers said.
However, the wreckage has caused somewhat of an inconvenience for a nearby neighborhood.
The main road residents use is closed off.
“We've contacted some adjacent landowners. The fire department has set up a detour and is guiding people in and out of their homes,” Myers said.
Though detours are not ideal, fire crews are just glad to report no one was injured.
Fire officials told NewsChannel 4 it will take a few days to remove the derailed train.
At this time, it is unclear what was being carried in most of the cars.
Myers said machine oil is in one car, but there are no leaks.
The cause of the derailment is under investigation.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the company that owns the train is Stillwater Central based out of Kansas.
NewsChannel 4 called the company but did not hear back immediately.

According to CSX employees, there will also be minimal impact on the public because the train did not come in contact with any roadway crossings.

Floods cause train crash near eastern Saudi city, injuring 18 (Feb 17)

RIYADH: A Saudi train derailed near the eastern city of Dammam on Friday, injuring 18 people, after flooding from heavy rains caused the rail line to erode, the Saudi Railways Organisation said in a statement.
The 193 passengers and 6 crew members were transferred to another train and taken to Dammam after the incident occurred at about 1:00 am, it said, adding that all injuries were minor.
Repair work has begun on the closed Riyadh Dammam track, added the statement carried by the state news agency SPA. Heavy rains have lashed Saudi Arabia for several days, causing severe flash floods throughout the kingdom and at least one death in southern Asir province.
Flooding can be politically sensitive in the Islamic kingdom, where previous incidents – notably in the second city of Jeddah – have prompted anger over the government’s perceived failure to build suitable prevention systems.
