Derailed train in Arizona

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

Derailed train in Arizona

Post by Smjh1979 »

Due to a very unseasonable, and extremely violent outbread of Severe Thunderstorms and Tornadoes across Arizona Today, a BNSF train derailed around Bellemont Today, where 3 consecutive Tornado Warnings have struck within 2 hours.

EDIT: According to the Associated Press, 28 railcars derailed, and the entire line is closed, and there may be one possible track reopened by Midnight Tonight.

I heard about that, It seems like Bellemont has an unusually high amounts of derailments.
