Mrs. Chandler and I were fishing under the railroad bridge adjacet to that one last year, right at the location of the derailment. I found the old bridge intriguing and researched it on my phone, since the fish weren't biting. It was built in 1915 to replace a previous bridge that had collapsed. We ended up moving from that spot because Mrs. Chandler had a bad feeling about the trains rolling over the bridge above us.

So much for the Train being safer then the oil pipelines.

Say, did we ever find out the cause of the huge fire on that US navy ship in California?

10 car derailment is not huge. That’s barely even a train.

This is the bridge it replaced:
From Jeremy Rowe Vintage Photography:
A historic doppelgänger for the tragic Tempe railroad bridge collapse today - another image from my collection adn my Early Maricopa county 1871-1920 book to share. On October 29, 1902 the Maricopa & Phoenix Railroad Bridge at Tempe collapsed under Engine No. 6 and three freight cars, leaving a Pullman car teetering at the end of the remaining span. Amazingly none of the passengers were injured. They walked back across the bridge and were taken to Tempe by wagon. The temporary bridge repair that time took only two days.
