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: 20 cars jump track in McDowell County
VIVIAN — Upwards of 20 train cars derailed in Vivian, with several of them being hazardous material carriers, on Saturday.
Once derailed, the westbound train cars toppled onto their side with several of them falling into Elkhorn Creek.
“About 20 cars have derailed,” Kimball Fire Chief, Jimmy Gianato, said, “Some are hazardous material cars that are empty.”
As there were no injuries, and there is no risk for public safety, the issues of the derailment are, “From here on out, it’s the railroad’s responsibility,” according to Gianato.]
Though the hazardous material train cars are empty, they will be, “Continually monitored,” due to the possibility of, “A seal start to leak,” in later hours, according to Gianato.
After Kimball Fire Department assessed the derailment, it was determined where the derailment happened and that there were no injuries. Norfolk Southern employees were on the scene assessing the derailment.
Also responding to the scene was Jan Care Ambulance Services and the Railroad Police.

No injuries after Union Pacific train derails in Hays
A Union Pacific train derailment in Hays caused some home evacuations and a few road closures around Ninth and Milner late Sunday afternoon.
“A little after 5 p.m. dispatch received a call from Union Pacific Railroad concerning a derailment they had near the intersection of Ninth and Milner,” said Kim Rupp, Hays public information officer.
“At this time there are three tanker cars off the tracks,” he said.
By 6:30 p.m. there was no immediate danger to the public, and no injuries had been reported.
“They do contain ethanol, however, there are no leaks, so there are no hazards to the public,” Rupp said.
While there was believed to be no immediate danger, some limited evacuations of housing were immediately after the derailment in the vicinity as a precautionary measure.
The fire department set up a 300-foot perimeter, but no intersections were closed by 6 p.m.
The traveling public is asked to avoid the area and observe cones and barricades while the accident is being cleared, Rupp said.

Boston train derails near Fenway Park before Red Sox game, sending 10 to hospital
BOSTON — Ten people were injured Saturday when a subway train derailed inside a tunnel near Fenway Park prior to the first game of a doubleheader between the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays.
The derailment occurred at approximately 10:55 a.m. between the Fenway and Kenmore stops on the green line of the Boston train and subway system known as "The T."
Some people were carried out of the tunnel by stoke baskets, according to the Boston Fire Department, and 10 were transported to local hospitals.
The Boston Globe quoted a passenger, 19-year-old Bryan Marden, who said the train was traveling at a high rate of speed before it derailed where the subway split. He said some of the passengers who were hurt appeared to be headed to the Red Sox game and nearby Pride Parade festivities. First pitch of the Red Sox game was 1:05 p.m.
Joe Pesaturo, spokesman for MBTA, said the injuries are "not life threatening." Boston Emergency Medical Services described the injuries as "varying in nature." The Globe reported that some appeared to be serious.
Among the injured was the train's motor person, a 62-year-old man, who Peasturo said is in stable condition after being treated for a leg injury and some bumps and bruises.
Pesaturo said the cause of the derailment is under investigation and authorities will interview the motor person after he's been treated medically.
He said no structural damage to the tunnel or the overhead wire has been reported. He said the "re-railing process" is underway and that once the car is moved, the track and switch infrastructure will be inspected. He said any necessary repair work will be conducted.

Green Line train derails in Bronzeville
June 6, 2019
Around 11 a.m. this morning, a Green Line “L” train derailed near the 47th Street stop, authorities said. Firefighters helped evacuate approximately 30 people off the four-car train using a hydraulic lift—with seven people transported to area hospitals, reporting minor injuries.
At around 1 p.m., the Chicago Transit Authority’s Chief Transit Officer Donald Bonds announced that shuttle services would be available between Roosevelt and the Ashland/63rd-Cottage Grove stops while Green Line service is restored, which Bonds estimated would take five to six hours.
According to Bonds, the CTA will be launching an investigation into the cause of the accident. There was track work occurring around the site of the derailment, he said, but authorities will not know if it was related until after their investigation.
Updated 6/6/2019 6:30 p.m.
Green Line service has resumed, with trains running in both directions between Harlem and Ashland/63rd-Cottage Grove, according to the CTA’s Twitter account. There have been no updates regarding the cause of the derailment.
