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.

Freight train derails into backyard, narrowly missing house

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5fUt_uoUkM

A freight train flew off the rails in the center of a small North Texas town Wednesday morning, smashing into a resident's backyard and just narrowly missing his house, reports said.

Seven of the Union Pacific cargo train's 13 empty rail cars overturned in Aubrey, about 50 miles north of Dallas, Fox 4 Dallas reported. The locomotive remained upright.

The train derailed into Rick Huckabee's yard, where it knocked down a tree that fell and damaged a portion of his roof, Fox 4 reported.

“I just called my wife and told her we had a train in the backyard,” he told the station. “We’re fortunate. It didn’t really tear up anything we can’t fix, except for that tree."

“I just called my wife and told her we had a train in the backyard. We’re fortunate. It didn’t really tear up anything we can’t fix, except for that tree."

— Rick Huckabee, resident of Aubrey, Texas

City Administrator Mark Kaiser said there were no injuries or damage to any structures, but an empty freight car punched through a resident’s backyard fence by about 4 feet.

Union Pacific officials don’t know yet what caused the derailment, which closed the rail line between Fort Worth and McAlester, Oklahoma, until Thursday.

Turkey train crash: At least nine dead in Ankara

  • 13 December 2018

A crash involving a high-speed train at a station in the Turkish capital Ankara has killed at least nine people and injured 47, Turkey's transport minister has said.

Images from the scene showed emergency services working to rescue people from badly damaged carriages.

Reports quoting local officials said the high-speed train had collided with another train, then an overpass.

The accident occurred at about 06:30 local time (03:30 GMT).

The crash happened at the Marsandiz railway station, around 8km (5 miles) from Ankara's main station.

At a news conference, Ankara governor Vasip Sahin said the train was travelling from Ankara to the southern city of Konya when it collided with a locomotive inspecting tracks at the station.

Three train drivers were among nine people killed in the crash, according to Turkish Transport Minister Cahit Turhan.

Turkey's state-funded Anadolu Agency reports that 206 passengers were on board the train. Three of the injured are said to be in a serious condition.

A large number of emergency workers arrived at the scene shortly after the collision, which occurred in snowy conditions.

Search and rescue efforts are still under way. The Ankara state prosecutor's office says it has launched an official investigation into the cause of the crash.

In a tweet (in Turkish), the Union of Chambers of Turkish Engineers and Architects quoted it.... It added: "The accident is murder!"

In July, 24 people were killed in Turkey when a train travelling from the north-western town of Kapikule en route to Istanbul derailed.

Cleanup continues after Beaufort County train derailment

BLOUNTS CREEK, NC (WITN) - Railroad officials say they expect track repairs to be completed later today from that New Year's Day train derailment in Beaufort County.

Norfolk Southern says 12 tanker cars carrying molten sulfur derailed from a 97-car CSX train around 1:50 a.m. Tuesday.

The CSX train was operating on Norfolk Southern tracks and was headed to the phosphate mine in Aurora.

Crews have so far been able to re-rail five of the tankers and moved them, while seven cars remain at the site near Stilley Station Road in Blounts Creek.

Norfolk Southern says between 6,000 and 8,000 gallons of the molten sulfur escaped from the tankers. The sulfur is transported as a liquid, but cools rapidly and solidifies, according to the railroad.

The hardened sulfur will be removed and replaced with new soil, Norfolk Southern told WITN News.

The cause of the derailment remains under investigation, while Stilley Station Road should reopen later today.

First responders in Beaufort County are on the scene of a train derailment in the Blounts Creek community

Beaufort County Fire Marshal Curtis Avery says a CSX train carrying molten sulfur derailed around 1:50 am.

Blounts Creek Fire Chief David Williams says eleven tanker cars derailed and Stilley Station Rd. is shut down near the intersection with Highway 33.

Norfolk Southern Railroad, which owns the tracks, is bringing in a contractor with heavy equipment to remove the tankers.

The train was bound for Nutrien Aurora Phosphate in Aurora, formerly known as PCS Phosphate.

Avery says there was a slight fire initially that has since been contained by several responding agencies.

Beaufort County Emergency Management, North Carolina Emergency Management, the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office, Highway Patrol, a hazmat team from Williamston Fire-Rescue-EMS and Chocowinity EMS all responded.

No injuries have been reported. Avery says there is no threat to the community.

The cause of the derailment is under investigation.

6 killed, 16 injured in train accident on Danish bridge

Posted: 5:50 AM, Jan 02, 2019
Updated: 6:50 AM, Jan 02, 2019

Six people were killed and 16 injured in an accident Wednesday morning involving a commuter train on the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark, Danish police said.

The accident took place around 7:35 a.m. local time. The area was experiencing high winds and powerful waves caused by Storm Alfrida.

The accident, which involved two trains, occurred on a bridge linking the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen, a Danish police spokeswoman said. Police were first called at 7:35 a.m. (1:35 am ET), she said.

Passengers have been evacuated from the train but police and rescue teams are still working at the scene.

A spokesman for brewing company Carlsberg told CNN that Carlsberg beer was being transported on a freight train over the bridge. "The train was carrying our goods apparently, but we do not transport our own goods in Denmark," said Kasper Elbjorn from Carlsberg, which has its headquarters in Copenhagen. The beer was carried by Deutsche Bahn Cargo Scandinavia, he said.

No cause for the accident has been established yet by police but the two trains may have had contact, the police spokeswoman said.

Danish police cannot yet confirm the number of dead, nor who the victims are, the spokeswoman said. All possible causes are being investigated.

Passenger Jim Nielson, who is from Denmark but lives in Ireland, told CNN he was going to the airport to catch a flight back after the holidays when the incident occurred.

"I was on the second coach when the crash happened. There was a cargo train coming from Zealand, the opposite direction. It was shaking due to the strong wind," he said.

"One of the containers was blown off the cargo train into the rails, because of the wind. Our driver tried to stop the train, pulling the brake. But the train continued to drive a bit, and crashed into the container blown off from the cargo.

"I saw sparks coming from the wheels. I ducked and bumped my head. Ten seconds later I heard a sudden bang. Then the train came into a halt. There was a lot of confusion, total darkness. Passengers on the first coach took the hardest hit, I believe that's where most of the casualties are."

Nielson said the train was very crowded at the time. Emergency services arrived within 10 to 15 minutes, he said, and used special equipment to open the doors, which were jammed.

Nielson spoke from an evacuation center in the city of Nyborg, on Funen, where he was taken with scores of others from the train. "It's a bad way to start the New Year, but I'm glad to be safe," he said.

Flemming Jensen, managing director of Denmark's national rail service, DSB, said it took the accident very seriously.

"Our thoughts are with relatives and we are doing all we can and what is practically possible, to assist clients and their relatives," he said.

The bridge has now reopened to road traffic heading east but with speed restrictions in place, police said. Drivers are urged to show respect by not taking pictures or slowing down to look at the crash scene.

The Matheran toy train derailed today (December 31) at around 3:30 pm while the empty rake was being shunted at the Matheran station. This is the fifth incident of the legendary toy train derailment this year.

Central Railway CPRO’s office confirmed the derailment but said that the rake was back on track at around 5 pm and services were resumed.

The Matheran narrow gauge line conducts a total 17 services from Neral railway station to Matheran. This includes eight Down and nine Up services. On weekends and holidays, a total of 22 services are run between Matheran and Neral.

There have been around five incidents of derailments of the toy train since October this year including the one that happened today.

The first incident took place in October, few days after the train resumed services after the monsoon break when a luggage-cum-brake van coach derailed near Aman Lodge station followed by the other two derailments that took place on December 9 and December 20.

No passengers or staffers have been injured in any of the incidents. The toy train services remained suspended for two years between 2016 and 2017 after several incidents of derailment that took place in the said period.

The toy train comprises of one first class coach, three second class coaches and two brake vans. It covers a total distance of 21 km amidst the hills and picturesque forests of Matheran.

Matheran is a famous tourist hill station located close to Mumbai and Pune. Huge crowds visit the hill station on every possible weekend and holidays.

The crowd presently at the hill station is very high in number due to New Year’s Eve. Huge crowds queue up to the ticket counters of Neral and Matheran railway stations respectively to get hold of the tickets before the limited number of tickets are sold out.

There was no damage to the rake and no one has been injured as the rake was empty when it derailed.

Nine killed as high-speed train crashes into bridge

NINE passengers died and dozens of others were injured when a high-speed train hit a service engine and crashed into a pedestrian overpass.

Television images from the crash site yesterday showed rescue teams working with sniffer dogs to search the mangled wreckage for trapped survivors — but none was found.

The accident happened at around 6.30am as the train, carrying 206 passengers, was leaving the Turkish capital Ankara for the city of Konya, about 160 miles to the south.

It hit the engine which was being used to inspect tracks at Marşandiz station, said transport minister Mehmet Cahit Turhan.

At least two cars derailed, crashing into an overpass which then collapsed onto the train, he added.

Three engine drivers and six passengers were killed in the collision.

Turkey’s health minister Fahrettin Koca said 84 other people had sought medical help after the crash.

The cause was not immediately clear, but the Turkish engineers and architects union posted a tweet quoting its chairman Yunus Yener, who said ‘signalling problems’ had been flagged on the line ‘for some time’.

It added: ‘The accident is murder.’

Three railway workers were arrested on suspicion of negligence and president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has vowed to carry out a thorough investigation.

Passenger Ayse Ozyurt said the crash happened 12 minutes into the journey.

‘The train was not fast at that time. Suddenly, there was a frightening brakeage and the train was off the rail.’

In July, 24 people were killed and more than 70 injured when a passenger train derailed in northwestern Turkey after torrential rains caused a section of track to collapse.

And 15 people were hurt last month when a passenger train collided with a freight train in the province of Sivas.

Konya is home to the tomb of the Sufi mystic and poet Jalaladdin Rumi, and this week thousands of pilgrims head to the city for a feast of remembrance.
