Looks like it happened by the Hudson, just south of Yonkers. I've taken that line in the past out of Tarrytown. Always a nice ride, especially with a Foster's oil can on the way back.

Whenever I see pictures of derailments, I'm always amazed that there are not more fatalities. Nobody wears seat belts on trains.

I saw a cargo train derail in Rochester NY in the early '70s. Only moving 30 mph or so in city limits and cars were leaping straight up and coming down every which way. Having seen one in process, I'm even more amazed at the low number of deaths.

This is a very beautiful part of New York state. Full of Dutch history!
