Stockton Diamond is a fairly new webcam by Southwest Railcams. Great location but terrible light most of the day. Live radio to help with train locations. This another lesson for railroads which have empty Centerbeam flatcars in their train. These centerbeam flatcars were 50 deep in the train but g...

Color blind? Flawed tests?OMAHA, Neb. (AP) The federal government has joined more than a dozen former workers in suing Union Pacific over the way it used a vision test to disqualify workers the railroad believed were color blind and might have trouble reading signals telling them to stop a train.T...

Its a UP train but I think all the trackage here is TRAA of St. Louis which everybody runs trains on. Was interesting watching the live coverage throughout the afternoon as the Corman troops arrive with their special heavy machinery to cleanup this mess. [video=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

5 engines and bunch of cars derailed after hitting a semi pulling a trailer at a crossing. UP southeast Kansas, new pile of freight cars

Of the huge amount of derailments recently not many were caused by "human error". Its been faulty equipment or weather or hitting something at a crossing. This for sure "human error" when trains collide. Somebody left a switch lined wrong in dark territory and no PTC. Crew members injured one worse t...

2 UP locomotives and 55 hoppers in a barely recognizable mess of twisted wreckage way off the tracks near Kelso CA. Where the "runaway" started is not known.

No railroad is spared derailments the last month or two. UP picked a handy place to derail right at a big oil refinery where the mainline passes through to help keep the media out. Celestial aspects the rest of the week very condusive to keep railroad derailments in the news/headlines. For sure you wan...

Yes...a pile-up of a coal cars about 31 of them accordian like. There is video of the train passing and when/where it happened. Hard to say if it was another "burning axel" or what. No town in flames or any hazardous worries. Gothenburg, NE pile up?

Early in the AM Saturday a stalled UP train was backing down the hill and thats when derailment more like sending a half dozen cars down the bank. Fix the track and trains will roll again. Watching Tehachapi railcam and trains are rolling again starting with the behind schedule Z-train and Q-trains. ...

Celestial weather for this "unthinkable accident" was Venus conjunct Pluto with Mercury Retrograde and Mars Retrograde. The driver of the truck survives somehow. It was not his day to die. Semi crashes into the UP mains hit by one or two trains (images 1,480k)

2 UP crew members died in this accident. Near as I can put things into order a UP train heads into a siding with railcars/MOW occupying the siding and crashes into it. To crash hard with sitting equipment this UP train had to be doing 30mph. This is on the UP "Sunset Route" with CTC and signaled Control poi...

If this aint the messiest derailment ever. Remote area where you need to make new roads to get to derailment. My guess the bridge failed to cause this derailment. 44 cars derailed and a destroyed bridge on the ex-Rock Island "Spine Line" from Twin Cities to Des Moines. Below the damaged bridge is tankc...

I guess derailments happen in "two's" at UP Pocatello. This one 20 cars of corn derailed at an important part of the yard. It could be good for the pet food industry as the spillage may still be good for critter food. Way ahead of myself. Venus conjunct Uranus almost exact is what you put on your "delay rep...

Last day of MIR and a sizeable mess in Pocatello. Is it easier to rerail cars on their sides? UP also piled one up in Pocatello Idaho last Thursday

I'm surprised nobody at TO mentioned this rather spectacular derailment I think starting with a hopper car in a long train crossing Santa Fe Jct has lost its front set of trucks or the truck is ripping up railroad track on the other side. Not a good scenario as its just a matter of time/distance before "i...

Camanche Iowa. Its interesting that my family tree had to set up in Comanche Country of Iowa for a year or 2 back in 1870's.

UP south of Big Sandy. I've watched trains past the Big Sandy diamond (ex-SSW ex-Mopac) and they are all giants taking about 10 minutes to pass. This is a "double train" with the mid-train DPU's the lead power for the 2nd train. Pretty common practice on UP. I've been noticing more derailments from the...
