I haven't heard anything on the forum about the Union Pacific freight train that derailed just outside Saint Louis 2 days ago.
One of the derailed tankers carrying some sort of solvent ruptured, and caught on fire. Authorities evacuated several schools in the immediate area due to the black smoke. Initial reports claim there was someone on the tracks, but I can't see how that would cause a long freight train to derail.
Any further news......Peter on the fabulous Gold Coast in sunny Queensland, Australia
