After Ohio, Two More Train Derailments in Texas and in South Carolina Raise More Concerns

We reported earlier on the train derailment that took place in East Palestine, Ohio ten days ago on Feb. 3. Because there were chemicals on board the cars and they were concerned about a potential explosion, they had what they said was a “controlled release” of chemicals to reduce that risk after evacuating residents within a one-mile area. But now, many people are concerned about the effects of the release despite the assurances as to the quality of the air. Animals in the area are dying and it’s understandably making people upset. A reporter who was covering the story and asking questions also was arrested, which is not making people happy.

More info came out about the chemicals on the train derailed in E Palestine OH. A hazmat specialist said "“We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open"😭😭 this is what I was telling ya’ll yesterday in the quote.

Now on Monday, two more train derailments are raising questions — one in Montgomery, Texas as well as another in Enoree, South Carolina.

The derailment in Montgomery (which is north of Houston) happened this morning around 7:30 a.m. and was caused by hitting a truck on the tracks. The truck driver was killed.

TEXAS — A train carrying "some hazardous materials" has derailed north of Houston. 1 person is dead.

21 cars derailed in the crash. So far there doesn’t appear to be any hazardous spill. The train included some hazardous materials, so Union Pacific is monitoring the air quality at the site of the crash, according to the Splendora Police Department.

Union Pacific spokesperson Robynn Tysver confirmed that its hazmat crews were on site, adding that an estimated 100 gallons of diesel fuel was released by the truck involved in the crash.

“From what we’re being told and shown, there’s no major chemicals to be concerned about,” Teller said. “It’s more so household chemicals on board for retail purposes. It’s not a large quantity from what we’re being told.”

There was also a second derailment on Monday afternoon in Enoree, South Carolina. CSX Transportation is on the scene and it looks like fluid tankers from the pictures, but there’s not a lot of information yet. It’s not clear what caused the derailment there. You can see a video here.

I know Antifa played around with the idea of deraling trains with cement blocks. It’s possible they did this.

This is BAD reporting. There is no ‘Montgomery’ Texas. Just a county…. And it’s on the OTHER side of town.

Palestine was a horrible accident. But few people will be harmed. If more derailments are being caused, that’s a reason for concern. But, the problem is a disruption in supply….. more than any hazards to people.

Quick! Someone notify Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg!

Oh, sorry. Mr. Buttigieg is busy pretend nursing his pretend child. Never mind.

Somebody’s killing all the chickens, burning all the food processing plants, and now the trains are derailing. I guess the old saying: What’s that got to do with the price of eggs in China got to do with it” No longer matters.
The price of eggs in America is the only thing that’s important.

And I almost forgot the sea shipping and airline disasters.
Maybe if we paint a hairy butthole on every traincar,ship, plane, and semi truck someone in transportation will take a deeper look at the problem.

It says a truck caused the one in Texas. I don’t know about the other one.

Pete Buttplug is too busy breastfeeding and worrying about white construction worker to care about infrastructure.

I was expecting the trains to dump their loads of chickens which immediately caught fire.

A favorite tactic of the environazis and antifa terrorists (in the PNW atleast) is to mess up rail switches by shorting out the sensors.

Montgomery, TX is a small town, population approximately 2000, in Montgomery County, TX. It is north of Houston. I drive through it frequently. Accurate reporting.

Smells like the Chinese to me. Investigators should look for egg roll wrappers, chop sticks and card board food boxes at the scene.

Have Mayorkas and Buttplug been fired yet?

I thought not.
