Sure have been a lot of train mishaps lately, but I am sure they are all unrelated..............!

This derailment obviously can be blamed on Ozzy Osbourne....

I'm going to take a shower. Keep me posted if anything new happens.

Thanks for keeping us posted regarding this "cliffhanger".

(OK, I've now banished myself to the corner. :-)

This is a headline that sounds much worse than the story.

Passengers on Amtrak's California Zephyr, bound for Emeryville from Chicago, were taken away on buses to continue their journey,

I once rode in a dome car of the (Western Pacific's) California Zephyr through the beautiful Feather River Canyon BEFORE the Oroville dam was built....My dad worked for Western Pacific RR.

73 cars headed East toward Reno. Just saw the news, said the ammonia sulfate (fertilizer) wouldn't be a hazzard but would take a while to clean up. From the photos it looks like the frontend of a boxcar may be poking over the edge a bit but not hanging down a cliff. Appears a left turn was being negotiated and some cars squirted off to the right. Perhaps a rear pusher engine was cranked up a bit too high. Colfax is about 20 min. east of here.

A train carrying non-hazardous chemicals

... yeah right... and would they tell us immediately if they WERE hazardous.... would the authorities do ANYTHING right now to alarm the public... LOTSA train accidents... and LOTSA lights on a power substations all over the country, 24-7...

If folks want to believe at least a few of these are genuine accidents... it is their choice... but after a while... we have to consider, this makes for a LOT of derailments, compared to a similar frame of time in most years... I would say the arabs are hoping to get lucky and derail a train with SERIOUS chemicals on board, near a residential area... and soon.

It also appears that they have been relatively unsuccessful to date. I suspect they are trying to learn new job skills... to attack our infrastructures more effectively. Cheifly they would be analyzing our "response teams" and methods...

It's time to open the refugee camps... and prepare muslim sympathisers for deportation to the islamic hell-hole of their choice. America is too big, for the puny muslimaniac religion... it is time for them to go back to eating the sand, and sleeping with the scorpions they apparently inherited their character from.
