As of noon, thermal imaging shows no leaks, but hazmat crews are still monitoring.

No evacuation orders have been issued and there are no road closures at this time.

Looks like the soil gave way under the tracks. Video and pics at the site.

Reminds me of the cartoon where a couple of Italian construction archetects are looking the tower of Pisa under construction and one commenting, “I skimped a little on the foundation but no one will notice”

And not pay a lot - PROPANE.

We simply don’t have money for necessary critical infrastructure like border walls and rail tracks. We need to spend 100’s of billions on wars instead. Oh, and on climate change, and why not a half trillion dollar giveaway to students who don’t want to repay loans...

The rain on the train got spilled onto the plain. (typed in my best My Fair Lady voice)

[FreeperCell]

Yeah. When the rain comes. They run and hide their heads!!!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

LOL.

[traderrob6]

I was going to say “that was some heavy freakin rain!”

[SPDSHDW]

To be fair, are the rails owned by the railroad companies, or is it fedzilla owned?

If its the former, that’s not directly fedzilla’s responsibility.

But yeah, democrats debt spending on grift projects is beyond insane already.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

A ton of claps.

We have to send our money to Ukraine so the Bidens can skim the cream off the top. After the Bidens skim off the top, other political parasites shim it until it is all gone.

True, but trucks run on taxpayer funded interstates the gov’t could help make sure the tracks are secure and possibly assist with credits or loans when they need upgrades. We don’t and shouldn’t have to live in a third world country when the government is awash in money.

Looks like the failed track is on soil, not ballast as elsewhere.
