Train derailments

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.

Cargo train derails in east Jackson

Story Created: Mar 11, 2015 at 6:49 PM CDT

Story Updated: Mar 11, 2015 at 10:50 PM CDT

JACKSON, Tenn. - A scene some residents describe as rare, as an afternoon freight train derails and leaves a big mess on an east Jackson roadway.

Hundreds of thousands of pounds of corn were piled along James Buchanan Drive after two freight cars fell on their sides. Traffic can now pass through the area but there is still a lot of work to be done to get things cleared up

"We just need to get it cleaned up, so the people can be safe out here," resident Virginia Hurd said. "Hopefully they get that done as soon as they possibly can."

Residents said they heard the moment the train ran off the tracks

"It was a loud noise, a boom," Mcewen Bond said. "So we ran to the neighbors and then we saw the train leaning over."

Officials with West Tennessee Railroad said the 30 car train was traveling at a low rate of speed before it ran over a broken switch which caused the train to jump the tracks.

"Never have I seen this," Hurd said. "I've been in this community for 60 years and this is the first time."

With trains traveling in this area all the time residents said they are just happy things were not worse.

"I'm glad no one was through here and no one got hurt," Hurd said.

West Tennessee Railroad said the clean-up will really begin Thursday morning.

They are going to bring in some heavy machinery to re-rail the cars and also fix some of the track that were damaged during the derailment.

Huge fire: Train carrying crude oil derails in Canada

A train carrying crude oil has derailed in Northern Ontario and burst into flames. This is the fourth derailment in the province since the start of the year.

CN Rail, the owner of the rail network in the eastern Canadian province, said the crash took place at 2:45 am on Saturday. No one was injured.

Three roads near the community of Gogama, where the accident took place, have been sealed off for up to 36 hours.

The $70-billion Canadian National Railway Company suffered its last derailment in nearby Horneypayne just two days earlier, though there was no chemical spillage in that crash.

But a massive explosion, also in Gogama, just last month resulted in the spillage of more than 1 million liters of bitumen into the environment, after 15 carriage tanks were breached, following yet another derailment. The authorities said that the spill contaminated a nearby lake and pond, but insisted the toxicity levels were not threatening to humans or wildlife.

Last year Canadian authorities instituted more stringent safety standards for rail cars carrying flammable liquids, and last month new rules increased insurance liabilities for companies transporting dangerous goods.

The measures are a response primarily to the Luc-Megantic disaster of 2013, when an oil-laden train exploded after a derailment in an urban area in Quebec, causing the deaths of 47 people.

The industry has resisted sweeping measures, which it says will force it to refit 50,000 train carriages in a decade, scuppering the oil-by-rail revolution that has taken place in the last half decade, caused by production expansion in Western Canada, and limits in pipeline capacity. Canadian train tracks are expected to carry 700,000 barrels of oil a day by next year, up from less than 300,000 in 2009.

Crude oil train derails, catches fire while traveling through Illinois

05 MAR 2015 AT 20:11 ET

NSF Railway train loaded with crude oil derailed and caught fire on Thursday afternoon in a rural area south of Galena, Illinois, according to local officials and the company.

The incident marks the latest in a series of derailments in North America and the third in three weeks involving trains hauling crude oil, which has put a heightened focus on rail safety.

Dark smoke was seen for miles around the crash site, and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency told local WREX.com that two of the cars were potentially on fire. Images posted online by Dubuque Scanner showed flames several hundred feet high, while aerial footage showed the wreck spread across two sets of track.

The train with 105 loaded cars — 103 of them carrying crude oil — derailed around 1:20 p.m. CST (1920 GMT), according to a BNSF statement. The incident occurred on what appears to be a major rail line alongside the Mississippi River that handles as many as 50 oil-trains a week, one official said.

“The sky is pretty dark down there, the smoke is pretty black,” said Kevin Doyle, whose property borders the tracks. “If you’re standing on the tracks you can throw a rock in the water.”

BNSF said there were no reported injuries and no evacuations. The Berkshire Hathaway Inc unit did not know what had caused the derailment, which occurred about 3 miles outside Galena, a town of just over 3,000 on the border with Wisconsin.

Eight cars derailed, according to Galena City Administrator Mark Moran, six of which had tumbled onto their side. He said emergency responders were called back to Galena as a precaution, and BNSF responders had taken over control of the site. It was not clear if oil had spilled from the tank cars.

It was also not immediately clear where the train originated or where it was heading. Chicago, which is 160 miles east, is a major rail hub for shipments from both North Dakota and Canada’s oil sands. It was unclear if the train’s tank cars were older models widely criticized for being prone to puncture during accidents.

About 40 to 50 oil trains come through the area each week, Jo Daviess County Emergency Manager Charles Pedersen said. He had said earlier that there was no explosion or fire at the site.

The accident is just the latest involving oil trains in the United States and Canada.

In 2013, 47 people were killed in the Quebec town of Lac-Mégantic after a train carrying crude oil derailed and exploded. The last incident was just three weeks ago.

Last month, a Canadian Pacific Railway freight train derailment in nearby Dubuque, Iowa, spilled ethanol fuel into the water and set three cars on fire. Dubuque, which is 14 miles to the north west of Galena, has almost 60,000 inhabitants.

A National Transportation Safety Board spokesman said the federal agency was not investigating the incident.

Train derails in northeast MN, involves hazmat cars

11:24 a.m. EST February 25, 2015

COTTON, Minn. - Crews are cleaning up after the derailment of a Canadian National Railway train near the town of Cotton early Tuesday.

The St. Louis County Sheriff's Office says 13 cars went off the tracks around 3:25 a.m., including three that contained hazardous materials. Both the sheriff and Canadian National insist there is no leakage from any of the haz mat cars and no danger to the public. The other 10 cars involved in the derailment were either carrying plastic pellets or were empty.

County emergency services manager Scott Camps says the southbound train had a total of 107 cars. He says the hazardous material is naphthalene. That's best known as a main ingredient in mothballs. It was headed from Winnipeg, Manitoba to Superior, Wisconsin.

"CN has crews, including hazardous materials specialists, mobilized," CN spokesperson Patrick Waldron told the Duluth News Tribune. "We'll conduct a cleanup and full investigation into the cause of this morning's accident. We'll bring in heavy equipment that will allow them to clean up and move the rail cars."

Cotton is about 20 miles south of Virginia, MN. The Grand Lake, Northland, Cotton and Fredenberg fire departments responded to the scene.

No cause has been determined, the sheriff's office said.

Comment by Mark on February 17, 2015 at 7:12am: Coal train derails at Kankool in the NSW Upper Hunter (Australia)

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-02-16/long-clean-up-after-coal-trai...

What is expected to be a week long clean-up and repair operation begins today at the site of a coal train derailment in the Upper Hunter.

The empty coal train derailed at Kankool between Murrurundi and Willow Tree early yesterday morning.

Rail safety regulators have inspected the scene and handed the line back to the Australian Rail Track Corporation to begin the salvage operation.

Heavy lift cranes will be used today to recover the 19 wagons that left the track.

ARTC says the line is expected to re-open late on Friday.

The derailment has disrupted coal exports from the Gunnedah Basin and road coaches are replacing passenger trains between Muswellbrook and Werris Creek.

New England Highway motorists are being warned to exercise caution with a number of near misses involving people stopping to view the scene.
