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): |

Another train derails in fireball near Guernsey
February 06, 2020 07:15 am
A train has derailed near Guernsey, the second time in less than two months that a train has derailed in the area.
Drivers in the area are reporting flames and a large plume of black smoke billowing into the air.
Mark Pratchler was driving west from Lanigan to Saskatoon on Highway 16 when he first saw the smoke.
“I saw a glow and then I saw some red flashing lights. As I got closer I could see a really big flame. On the detour (north of Highway 16) I could see a thick, black plume of smoke,” he said.
Pratchler said he was detoured north of the derailment site; he said Guernsey’s volunteer fire crew members were the ones on scene diverting traffic.
CP Rail confirmed the derailment in an emailed statement just before 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
“At approximately 6:15 a.m. local time a CP freight train derailed east of the community of Guernsey, Sask. Emergency responders have been deployed to the site. CP is making initial assessments of the incident and will have further comment when available,” the statement said.
Jerome Fisher lives in the area of the derailment. He gave an account of what it was like.
“At about 6:15 a.m. I heard brakes on the train squealing, and all of a sudden they came to an abrupt stop. I looked around my yard, and I could see a really big orange glow in the air,” he said. “It’s just another sad day, because it’s a large train wreck.”
“I had thought of going that direction (along Highway 16) with a set of super Bs (semi trailers) that I drive, and if I had gotten close to the tracks and this had happened, that would not have been good.”
In a media release, the Humboldt RCMP detachment said the derailment happened east of Guernsey, forcing the closure of Highway 16 and “the junction with Highway 20 will also be closed.”

High-speed train derails in Italy; 2 railway workers killed
OSPEDALETTO LODIGIANO, Italy (AP) — A high-speed passenger train derailed in northern Italy before dawn Thursday and its detached engine slammed into a work train car on an adjacent track, ripped away part of a building wall and flipped around. Two train workers were killed and 28 people were injured, authorities said.
The state-railway Freccia Rossa train went off the rails on the heavily used Milan-Bologna line about 5:30 a.m. (0430 GMT) while traveling at a speed of nearly 300 kph (180 mph), Civil Protection chief Angelo Borrelli told state radio.
Girolamo Fabiano, a railroad police official, said work had been done during the night on the stretch of track where the derailment happened. He said it was unclear if that was a factor in the train going off the tracks. ProItalian news channel Sky TG24 said the work occurred on a track switch area not far from the derailment site.
State railways said the two fatalities were train engineers. Prefect Marcello Cardona said another railroad worker, part of the cleaning staff, was seriously injured. One passenger was seriously injured and 26 other passengers suffered less serious injuries, authorities said.
“The engine car kept going, 100 meters, at high speed,” Cardona told reporters at the crash site, near the town of Ospedaletto Lodigiano.
Besides striking the isolated work car, the out-of-control engine car clipped an unoccupied railways building in its runaway path, ripping away part of an exterior wall of a railways maintenance building, AP photos indicated. The engine car ended its fatal trajectory, flipped around 180 degrees.
Authorities said the crash occurred about 20 minutes after the train had left Milan heading south toward Bologna.
“The engine car car derailed, detached completely and kept going,″ Girolamo Fabiano, a railroad police official told state radio. ”Then the second car derailed , ” ending up almost on its side.
Cardona said it was fortunate that, due to the early hour, the train wasn’t crowded. Police said it had about 30 passengers. Only one passenger was in the first car, a business-class car, that ended up on its side, an a couple of passengers each were in the next few cars. The train passenger cars further back remained upright.
Authorities said it was possible the engine car automatically decoupled from the cars behind it as part of a safety mechanism to prevent the rest of the train from following the engine car in case of derailments
prosecutors and railroad experts are investigating.
One passenger, an unidentified man interviewed by state TV, likened the moment of the crash to being on a roller-coaster for 20 seconds.
Rescuers had to help some passengers out of the train.
The passenger train run is part of a popular high-speed rail service known as Freccia Rossa, or the Red Arrow service, which links Italy’s north and south and is used by business people and tourists as well as locals.
Rail traffic was diverted to local tracks, with delays of about an hour reported.
Italian President Sergio Mattarella in a condolence message lamented the deaths. He urged a swift investigation to determine the derailment’s cause “to guarantee the right of citizens to safety on transport.”
In other recent derailments near Milan, three people were killed and more than 100 injured when a regional train derailed on another line in January 2018.
