That’s the second derailment in the last month on that line. Had one up around Prichard

Maybe not by accident.

Damn covid***

Maybe not by accident.

Yep, maybe it's underpants gnomes trying to figure out how to make a profit.


Or maybe it's a damn terrible event and we should hope for minimal harm and damage.

That rail line is one of the busiest in North America. They are constantly working on it so it is surprising to see two derailments. The one at Prichard happened in a curve and looked like the rail csme off one side.

What’s wild is they had it cleaned up and completely repaired in 36 hours and it tore up almost a quarter mile of track.

What was on the train that caused the evacuation?

Maybe not by accident.

There are on average 3 train derailments every day in the USA. By coincidence 2 happened near each other in place & time.

Free State of Tally!

What was on the train that caused the evacuation?

Benzene

 

[HailStout]

Benzene

That’s not great

Heh, I should let him know he got a shoutout.

 

[Herbert Nenninger]

Benzene

I knew one guy that got exposed to benzene. He hasn’t benzene since…

Morning routine 1) search for stories that might allow me to be outraged about something 2) find conspiracy theories everywhere

Finally got my pictures to load on here from the one at Prichard last month.

It was a mess.

Fun fact, if you go to the MS Grand Canyon (Red Bluff near Columbia), there's several train cars left over from a derailment many years ago (when you get to the bottom turn right and follow the tracks a hundred yards or so, the cars are on the left between the tracks and the Pearl).

And how did the Illuminati benefit from that crash?

Cool.
We went to the Bluffs last year will check out next time we go.

I bet that took all of 2 minutes to evacuate everyone

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

What kind of drone do you have?

Somebody else took those

 

[RivaDawg]

I’m honestly surprised there aren’t more on that rail line. It’s not in great shape

 

[dorndawg]

That looks awful. Did the heat cause the tracks to warp? I know that can happen when it’s really hot, no idea in this particular case.

No that’s from the rails tweaking from the weight of the train cars coming off the rails.

It looks like all the crossties slid over and down the hill together with the tracks - is that what I'm seeing? I've never seen that before, or maybe I just haven't noticed it. That seems almost impossible unless there was a failure in the structure of the hillside or something.

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

Probly due to the ridiculous amount of rain we have had this year
