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.

Service on the Camden and Brunswick lines will be disrupted Monday, MARC officials said, after a CSX freight train partially derailed in Southwest Baltimore on Sunday morning.

Eight cars of a CSX freight train derailed at about 10:15 a.m. in Southwest Baltimore near Hollins Ferry Road and Paca Street.

The train that was traveling from Hamlet, N.C., to Selkirk, N.Y., with 118 cars, was pulled by two diesel locomotives.

The rail cars appeared to have jackknifed, with at least one resting on its side Sunday afternoon.

According to Lt. Sterling Bailey, a Baltimore Fire Department spokesperson, the cars carried no hazardous materials, which CSX officials confirmed.

"There were also no injuries," Bailey said.

The Camden line will be on an "S" schedule Monday, MARC officials said. Service on the Penn Line will not be affected.

"The derailment means there will be no service to Camden Station," MARC officials said in a statement. "Trains will originate at Dorsey, and those scheduled to stop at St. Denis will stop. We are working to establish a bus bridge between Camden and Dorsey, however we recommend that Camden Station passengers use the light rail to Penn Station."

CSX has crews on the way to clear the scene. The cause is under investigation, according to Robert T. Sullivan, a CSX spokesman.

LAHORE: At least two people were killed and several injured Thursday evening when a Rawalpindi-bound train derailed from its track near Gujranwala.

According to reports, four bogies of the train travelling from Lahore to Rawalpindi derailed near the Gujranwala City Railway Station, killing two people and injuring several others standing on the roadside.

The dead included a woman and a child.

Deputy Superintendent of Railways Humayun told reporters that the accident took place after the train failed to stop at its designated location.

Dildar Hussain Shah, a Pakistan Railways official, said the driver of the railcar failed to control the train and it rolled over a safety hump which was made for avoiding such accidents.

Hussain said no train passenger was hurt while two local people sitting on the hump reportedly died.

Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique has sought an inquiry report into the train accident within 24 hours.

Earlier this month, fourteen members of an extended family were killed when a speeding train hit a motorcycle rickshaw at an unmanned level-crossing near Khanpur village, about 50 kilometres from Gujranwala.

In one of the worst railway accidents in the country's history, three passenger trains collided on July 13, 2005 at the Sarhad Railway Station near Ghotki, resulting in deaths of over 150 people.

Railway authorities had said one of the trains failed to stop after the driver misread the signal, resulting in the massive triple-train collision.

On January 3, 1990, around 350 people were killed in an accident at Sangi, some 15km from Sukkur, which is said to be the biggest ever train accident in Pakistan.

Train derailment at the Port of Tampa; Fire Rescue on scene

11:26 AM, Jul 25, 2013

Tampa, Florida -- The Port of Tampa has been reopened to business traffic with permanent port credentials after a train derailed there early Thursday morning.

PHOTOS: Train derailment at the Port of Tampa

The train was coming into the port at 1 a.m. when it left the tracks, pulling twelve cars off of the rails -- and sending ten of those completely onto their sides, according to Tampa Fire Rescue spokesman Capt. Lonnie Benniefield.

Responders found three of the cars leaking ethanol, a flammable liquid that's often mixed with gasoline to fuel cars and trucks. When it's shipped by rail, ethanol is usually stored in a form that is more flammable than gasoline.

Hazmat-trained firefighters have laid down a coating of firefighting foam on top of the spill to keep it from catching fire.

The toppled train is blocking the main entrance to the Port of Tampa on Maritime Boulevard, and that may be the case for several hours. Trucks were allowed to use a side road to access the port starting at around 9 a.m.

Benniefield said equipment to place the rail cars back on the tracks is being sent from Atlanta to Tampa by railroad company CSX; righting the entire train could take until late Thursday night or some time Friday morning.

No one was hurt in the train derailment, which was originally reported as involving 15 cars. Benniefield said it's not clear yet why the train jumped the tracks. CSX and government agencies are expected to investigate the cause.

Typically, ethanol breaks down within a few weeks in the environment, so the impact to the soil and groundwater may be limited and not serious.

Update: at least 78 dead and 143 injured !

The train derailed with such force that one car leapt 15 feet in the air and 45 feet from the tracks.

Spain train crash: at least 35 killed, says head of Galicia region

Train derails outside northern city of Santiago de Compostela

At least 35 people have been killed after a train derailed outside the northern Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela, according to state media and eyewitnesses.

Train carriages lay on their sides with smoke billowing from the wreckage, photographs published on the Voz de Galicia newspaper website showed.

The head of Spain's Galicia region said that at least 35 people had been killed in the train derailment, although it was too soon to say what had caused the accident.

Eyewitnesses said that the derailed train, which was reportedly carrying 240 passengers when the accident happened, had caught fire after the crash.

"It was going so quickly … It seems that on a curve the train started to twist, and the wagons piled up one on top of the other," passenger Ricardo Montesco told Cadena Ser radio station.

"A lot of people were squashed on the bottom. We tried to squeeze out of the bottom of the wagons to get out and we realised the train was burning … I was in the second wagon and there was fire … I saw corpses," he added.

Another witness told the station they had heard an explosion before seeing the derailed train.

The Spanish government's main working hypothesis concerning the derailment is that it was an accident, a government spokeswoman said.

Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy was due to visit the site of the derailment, on the outskirts of the city of Santiago de Compostela on Thursday morning, she said.

"Rajoy is in an emergency meeting with the deputy prime minister, the interior minister and the public works minister," she said. "He will visit the site tomorrow morning."

Santiago de Compostela, the birthplace of Rajoy, is best known as the destination of an ancient Catholic pilgrimage route.

Train Derails in Southern Albemarle

Posted: Jul 18, 2013 4:13 PM CDTUpdated: Jul 18, 2013 9:03 PM CDT

NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and Weather

a train derailed near the James River west of Scottsville

Crews are dealing with a big mess in southern Albemarle County after a train derailed.

Twenty-nine cars hauling loads of coal went off the tracks near Hatton Grange Farm along the James River west of Scottsville.

Police say no one was hurt, but the lost coal is making for a hefty cleanup job.

The CSX rail company says the derailment closed a portion of Warren Ferry Road.

The company doesn't yet know the cause, nor does it give an estimate of when cleanup will be complete or when train service will resume.

The train was headed from Peach Creek, West Virginia to Newport News.

Metro-North Hudson line suspended, freight train derails

Updated at 11:03 PM today

Eyewitness News

Riverdale

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Metro-North's Hudson line service is suspended due to a freight train derailment in the Bronx.

The freight train derailed on the Metro-North tracks near the Spuyten Duyvil train station.

Hudson Line service has been suspended in both directions.

10 of the 24 cars on the freight train derailed just east of the station behind Kennedy High School. The train is still upright but blocking both tracks that run through the area.

The train picked up garbage from the Oak Point Yard in the Bronx, which is a CSX freight railroad yard used for local deliveries. It was heading northbound when it derailed.

There was a conductor, engineer and break man on the train at the time of the derailment. None of them were injured.

This was not a passenger train.

The Friday morning commute will be affected by the derailment.

Buses are bridging service between the Marble Hill and Riverdale train stations in the Bronx. Customers going north will take a train from Grand Central to Marble Hill, take a bus from there to Riverdale, and then board another train from Riverdale north.

Customers going to Grand Central will get off at Riverdale, take a bus to Marble Hill, and then take another train to Grand Central.

Metro-North says this is most likely how the morning commute will run. They are advising customers coming into Manhattan Friday morning to either take the Harlem Line, or a 1 train to the West Side from Marble Hill.

Metro-North says this derailment happened in the worst place possible, in an area known as the "rock cut." When the tracks were built, crews had to blast the cliff and built only two tracks through the area.

The Hudson Line goes from four tracks to two in the rock cut and then back to four tracks. There are cliff walls on both sides. It is an area that is very hard to get to and the process of moving the train will be long and tedious.

Train derails in Benbrook

Posted: Jul 18, 2013 6:59 AM CDTUpdated: Jul 18, 2013 9:49 AM CDT

BENBROOK, Texas -
A Union Pacific train derailed near the border of Tarrant and Parker counties.

Benbrook Fire Chief Tommy Davis said the accident happened around 5:30 a.m. Thursday on the line that runs along Aledo Road. A locomotive and five rail cars came off the track.

The 45-car train en-route to Dallas from Tucson, Ariz. had been carrying mostly paper products and not any hazardous materials.

But cleanup will still take a few hours. Union Pacific will need to bring in heavy equipment to upright the locomotive.

A spokesman for Union Pacific said at least one employee was hurt and taken to the hospital. His injuries are believed to be minor.

The cause of the derailment is still unknown.

Train derailment leaves 23 injured

The Nation July 17, 2013 11:13 am

Foreign nationals were among the 23 passengers injured when a Chiang Mai-bound train derailed in Phrae province early on Wednesday morning.

The passengers were sleeping when the train's seven compartments toppled over onto their sides in Denchai district at about 3am.

Eighteen foreign tourists, among them residents of Australia, France, Spain, Japan and the United States, suffered minor injuries, including those from and the United States.

The overnight sleeper express train had about 300 passengers on board when the accident took place.

"Derailments happen quite often," said State Railway of Thailand governor Prapat Chongsanguan.

The tracks were undergoing upgrading.

Buses and vans were mobilised to transport affected passengers, local and foreign, from Denchai to Chiang Mai. Three foreigners suffered broken arms and 24 passengers had minor injuries. They were sent to the district hospital.

Chalermwoot Rakkhatiwong, Denchai district chief, said all passengers have been transferred from the scene.

The train left Bangkok at 7pm on July 16.

The accident has resulted in suspension of the northbound trains and a change in schedules. Express trains scheduled to run today between Bangkok and Chiang Mai have been cancelled. Normal trains from Chiang Mai will operate as usual, but passengers in Chiang Mai, Lamphun and Lampang will have to take buses to board the train at Uttaradit station. Affected passengers can return tickets and receive full compensation.
