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): |

Train derails Monday in Reserve; no injuries reported, but roads are closed
Nov 4, 2019 at 12:28 pm
A train carrying animal fat derailed late Monday morning in Reserve, St. John the Baptist Parish officials said.
No one was injured in the incident, and no vehicles were involved, St. John Fire Chief Cain Dufrene said. The train was carrying non-hazardous materials, according Dufrene, who said two of the three derailed train cars were tankers carrying animal fat. The other car was empty, he said.
Railroad crossings at West 10th Street, West 15th Street and West 19th Street in Reserve were closed after the derailment, which happened around 11:30 a.m.
Dufrene said those crossings are expected to remain closed for several hours as a Kansas City Southern railroad team works to clear the scene, with no immediate timetable for when the roads could be reopened.
Kansas City Southern, which operates the tracks, is still investigating the cause of the derailment, Dufrene said, though he added it seemed like the train was traveling at a slow speed when the derailment happened.
Baileigh Rebowe, a spokeswoman for parish government, said in terms of how a train derailment could have gone, things could have gone much worse.
"It could have been a very bad scenario for us," she said.

Train derails on Lagimodiere overpass
CN Rail says 12 empty train cars off the tracks; northbound lanes closed at Maginot
Nov 01, 2019 12:43 PM CT
UPDATE: CN Rail says all train cars are back on their tracks and traffic is open in all directions.
Winnipeg drivers had to use alternate routes around the Lagimodiere Boulevard and Dawson Road N. area Friday after a train derailment.
"[The train cars] look somewhat precarious, according to the initial reports," Const. Rob Carver just shortly after noon Friday.
Police arrived at the derailment shortly after noon.
CN Rail said in a statement that 12 empty grain cars went off the tracks.
"There are no dangerous goods, fires or injuries involved at this time," the statement said.
Dave Kozyra said he was driving in the area shortly after lunch.
"It must've happened two minutes prior to us going past," he said. "We noticed vehicles were stopping kind of erratically on the road and we looked up and you could see the bottom side of the train cars on the bridge and off to the east side of Lag."
Kozyra said he's never seen anything like it.
"As we went under, we were a little hesitant, because we knew there was probably one or two cars that were partially overhanging the bridge," he said.
"Seemed like there could be potential for them to fall on to the north side of that bridge."
Winnipeg police helped CN Rail police reroute traffic as a precaution.
Northbound traffic on Lagimodiere was closed early Friday afternoon between Maginot Street and Dawson Road N.
By Friday night, all lanes had reopened to traffic.
The cause of the incident is under investigation, CN said.
