Derailment footage as it happened taken from a car waiting at the tracks
Reports that it’s carrying TOXIC MATERIALS. Not to worry, it DERAILED RIGHT NEXT TO A CONVENIENT RIVER. Just wash those toxins into that river. After all it’s only TRUMP COUNTRY.
“ How can this be happening after the trillions spent to improve our infrastructure?!??!?”
**********************************************
That money is going to build windmills, EV chargers and to DemocRAT governors and mayors to spread around.
Norfolk Southern for sure has an image problem NOW !
I haven’t heard a peep.
I’m just waiting for DeWhine to show up with a book of matches.
Looks like an automobile carrying car in the mix.
Why Ohio in particular, do you think?
EQUITY in action.
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t the collapse of the rail system the beginning of ‘Atlas Shrugged’?
Yup.
Mayor Pete has lot track of another one?
“There was probably traffic behind him”
Trains travel in blocks. A block is a section of track of some distance and no two trains are allowed on a block of track at the same time. It’s coordinated at a central operations center with signals, radio, and data streams.
[WIKI] “Signalling block systems enable the safe and efficient operation of railways by preventing collisions between trains. The basic principle is that a track is broken up into a series of sections or “blocks”. Only one train may occupy a block at a time,[1] and the blocks are sized to allow a train to stop within them.[2] That ensures that a train always has time to stop before getting dangerously close to another train on the same line. The block system is referred to in the UK as the method of working, in the US as the method of operation, and in Australia as safeworking.
In most situations, a system of signals is used to control the passage of trains between the blocks. When a train enters a block, signals at both ends change to indicate that the block is occupied, typically using red lamps or indicator flags. When a train first enters a block, the rear of the same train has not yet left the previous block, so both blocks are marked as occupied. That ensures there is slightly less than one block length on either end of the train that is marked as occupied, so any other train approaching that section will have enough room to stop in time, even if the first train has stopped dead on the tracks. The previously-occupied block will only be marked unoccupied when the end of the train has entirely left it, leaving the entire block clear.”
I hope that helps. I rode trains for many years, and the conductors were very informative.
I meant the guy doing the filming from his car. He probably couldn’t back up once the train accident happened.
I can’t speak for US standards, but in Canada CN and CP know where their trains are at all times.
I wonder, with the cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline, that the use of rail would put unsafe stress on the rail infrastructure.

Sure was.
The saboteurs are sent out to continue the chaos, food plant fire, chemical plan fires, train derailments, substation attacks. There are may amongst us that are still asleep and are unable to connect the dots or care to
On our soil. It won’t be ww3 if China and Russia invade… because no one is coming to aid the US. Britain might send a show of force, but no real help.
