What the hell is up with all these train derailments ? Just heard of another one today, down in Alabama. Is someone planting, whatever ? on the rails? Or disrupting them in some other maner ?

I'm going to see just how many there have been since the first one here in E, Palestine.
 
Frankly, feces happens. With a few million train cars, not all are working perfectly, not all rails are fine.

Want some fun, how about a BLEVE?

Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion.

World record train car toss from the explosion included!

They happen all the time, an average of 1,475 per year or about 4 per day. The press just doesn't cover most.

Well then, with all this said , I guess the problem is with the railroads . I hope the folks in D.C. keep after them to make the repairs.
