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): |

As many as three cars of a 14-car train derailed near a golf course in South Dallas early Monday night, Dallas Fire-Rescue officials say.
The incident happened around 6:25 p.m. Monday in the 3600 block of Samuel Boulevard near Tenison Park Golf Course, DFR said.
Only one of the 14 cars contains a hazardous material, officials said, and that car was still on the tracks.
Authorities at the derailment site stabilized the three cars that were leaning off the tracks, DFR said. The train company would send a crew to finish the job Tuesday morning.
The golf course was evacuated as a precaution, officials said, and all six lanes of Samuel Boulevard were closed from Lawnview Avenue to Tenison Parkway.

FORT WORTH, Texas —
No one was hurt Wednesday when a Union Pacific train carrying ethanol derailed in a residential area in Fort Worth, Texas and caught fire.
Union Pacific spokeswoman Kristen South says the train derailed at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday near Echo Lake in Fort Worth. South says the fire was mostly contained by 8 a.m.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating, says 20 rail cars derailed and five tank cars caught fire. Some of the cars were carrying ethanol.

The cause of the derailment is not yet known, though it occurred when heavy thunderstorms were moving through the area.

Dozens injured as passenger train derails
April 12, 2019
NAUSHAHRO FEROZE: Dozens of passengers were injured when the locomotive and three coaches of the Bahauddin Zakaria Express derailed near Mehrabpur railway station on Thursday.
The train was on its way to Punjab when it met with the accident a little distance from the Mehrabpur railway station. Initial reports suggested that the accident was caused by brake failure.
The injured were taken to different hospitals of Naushahro Feroze district. Officials of the district administration and area police rushed to the accident site and carried out relief and rescue operation along with a large number of train passengers and residents of the adjacent localities.
The station master told local reporters that a technical fault caused failure of brakes.
Rail traffic at the Mehrabpur sector remained suspended for a few hours to facilitate operation to bring the derailed locomotive and coaches back on tracks.

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.

Toll rises to 32 dead, 91 hurt as DR Congo train derails
March 18 2019
Officials said there was a large number of children among the dead when the train veered off the tracks in central Kasai province.
KINSHASA - Thirty-two people were killed and 91 others injured when a freight train carrying stowaways derailed in DR Congo overnight, officials said on Monday, updating an earlier toll of 24 dead.
Officials said there was a large number of children among the dead when the train veered off the tracks in central Kasai province.
Of the injured, 18 were in serious condition, a district official told AFP after arriving at the site on Monday.
The goods train veered off the tracks as it was crossing a bridge over a river about 140 kilometres (85 miles) northwest of the provincial capital Kananga.
"Many carriages fell into the water from the bridge over the Luembe River," a police official said late on Sunday at Bena Leka train station.
In such a vast country, stowaways tend to be very common.
"We are overwhelmed by the number of injured, we are working urgently," said Dr Jean Claude Tshimanga who works at the nearby Kakenge hospital when the initial toll stood at 24 dead and 31 injured.
It was the third train accident within the space of a month in central DR Congo. Last month, five people were killed when a passenger train crashed at Kalenda station.
Rail accidents in the sprawling former Belgian colony are frequent and often deadly because of decrepit track and ageing locomotives dating from the 1960s.
