Train cars derail in Minnesota, spill crude oil

With all the volitile aspects going here last of March, it was

inevitable that somehow it would zero-in on the latest

development of oil-trains now running around now and

the what happens if it derails. Well we got atleast one...

Collision at Diamond, New York Central runs through NKP Oil Train!

Moving to Alexandria at the NKP interlocking in ca. 1944, a north bound failed to get stopped and ran through an east bound oil train. (Alexandria Photo from the Collection of Paul Siess. See Bibliography.) There were no injuries. I believe the engine had just came from the backshop at Beech Grove. The engine was totally destroyed.

Oil trains are a new thing here in the GPNW. Know the SP ran oil
trains in CA for long time. Great "recall of memory" Cy. Quite
a "smash-up".

There were oil trains everywhere crossing the country during WWII, Krink, to keep it off the ocean. The NYC crew jumped before they ran through this train, nobody was killed. Looks pretty spectacular, though. In the future, Cy would pound this diamond many times.
