Happened near my house on Sunday. Thankfully, no fatalities...though the two train engineers were badly injured Since these tracks were refurbished recently, the trains are traveling noticeably faster, and are allowed to carry several more rail cars. Again, thankfully, this wasnt the oil train that routinely travels up and down these tracks, and the tank car that ruptured was loaded with the comparatively harmless argon gas.
