A Norfolk Southern train derailed along the Lehigh River in Lower Saucon Township on Saturday morning, sending part of two engines into the water.

The derailment happened in the area of Riverside Drive, across the river from Nagy’s Landing in Bethlehem Township, around 7:15 a.m. Two other trains were involved in the incident that led to the derailment, though only one derailed, officials said at an 11 a.m. news conference.

Photos from the scene showed the front edge of at least two engines sticking into the water, with multiple other cars off the track.

Norfolk Southern is investigating, and the cause of the derailment is unknown, officials said at the news conference.

if we had a pub administration, the “no danger” to the public would become a huge protest against the horrible pubs and their anti-climate agenda and it would also be called environmental racism because there had to be a single black person within 5 miles...

Does it count as a ‘malfunction’ if it’s deliberate?

There has also been very heavy rain today in NE PA...possible weakening/eroding of the roadbed.

And we are the Country that is being run by a false flag addicted dipshit. At one time we had an honest President named Donald Trump. But people said, “Hell with you, we don’t want you. We want Lying Joe Biden!” The people got what they prayed for. And the Republican Party aided and abetted in this. And even now they are fighting him tooth and toenail. Nicky Haley can go to hell. And carry Joe Biden under one arm and Lindsey Graham under the other.

Actually, the election was stolen.

The only ones who got what they wanted were the election thieves plus about 30% of voters.

Here’s an idea. Like the days before criminals watched TV between gym workout sessions and conjugal visits, assign the millions to illegals to do work for the environment such as the filtering and abatement work on fuel spills in rivers like this. One jurisdiction near here-—just one——has vans with 6 or 8 alternative service prisoners working to pick up the debris beside highways and freeways.

I think he’s attending a ceremony where his former city of “South Bend” is honoring him by changing it’s name to “Bend Over.”

Or he could be judging a rectal contest. It’s his milieu.

I ran those ‘roads’ 40+ years ago. Main line, multiple track, good ribbon rail, high roadbed. Easy to determine cause, maybe a washout, time will tell. No more caboose, though. No extra eyes, just a “rear end device”, a blinker that registers air pressure for brakes as well. Not good. Stopped many trains in my time before disaster, just by watching out the ‘gig top’.

I have a relative in NE Nevada that saw a derailment 3 days ago of a locomotive pulling belly-dumps of grain.

Stayed in the local news I guess, since it was just grain. I don't have a host for pics though.

He won’t be President by then. And maybe they’ll eventually tell him.
