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): |

At least 15 train cars carrying mostly produce derail in Wellington; cause unknown at this time
Posted: 7:11 AM, May 28, 2019WELLINGTON, Ohio — A massive train pileup caused roads to shutdown after a train derailed in Wellington, located in Lorain County, early Tuesday morning.
Reports of a train derailment in the area of CSX tracks near the intersection of Wheeling Avenue and Magyar Street came in at about 6:05 a.m.
When fire crews arrived, they found about 15 to 20 cars that were off the track, with one car filled with onions that was partially on fire, according to Wellington Assistant Fire Chief Bill Brown.
"It could've been a lot worse. The hazardous materials are down the line and those have not been affected," said Brown.
No injuries were reported from the derailment. Officials said all the main roads in Wellington have reopened to traffic following a brief closure to all the roads in the area.
The cause of the derailment is unknown at this time. Train crews told authorities that they were slowing down as they came into Wellington, and that's when they had an issue, according to Brown.
Wellington Chief of Police Tim Barfield said there is no threat to residents in the area and no evacuations are planned.
A state trooper on scene said there are no toxic chemicals coming from the affected train cars, but there are a lot of perishable foods such as carrots, onions and potatoes.
Motorists are asked to drive with caution and avoid the area if possible.

4 dead, 2 missing in China aluminum ore train derailment
BEIJING — A train carrying aluminum ore derailed in a central Chinese province, killing at least four people, local authorities said Thursday, in the latest in a series of industrial accidents to strike the country.
The city government of Gongy in Henan province said the train crashed into a village home after jumping the tracks around 10 p.m. Wednesday. Two other people were listed as missing, it said.
The 25-car train is owned by a subsidiary of Aluminum Corporation of China and ran on a 22-kilometer (14-mile) track built in the 1950s specially for transporting ore.
TV footage showed tangled cars from the train spread across a forested area.
China experiences frequent industrial accidents despite orders from the central government to improve safety at factories, power plants and mines or risk prosecution. Skirting of safety regulations — sometimes with the collusion of corrupt local officials — is generally given as the cause.
In March, 78 people were killed in a blast at a chemical plan that had numerous safety violations in one of China’s worst industrial accidents in recent years. In November, at least 22 people were killed and scores of vehicles destroyed in an explosion outside a chemical plant in the northeastern city of Zhangjiakou, which will host competitions in the 2022 Winter Olympics.
