This is a bad one as maybe/possibly/has 41 cars derailed with some leaking hazmat. One person surmized maybe DPU lost communications in the tunnel.

Cant just shove the mess to one side or the other. I'm just learning of the mess.

13,700 gallons of 93% Sulfuric Acid was punctured and the entire contents leaked into the tunnel.

 

They're still having troubles in NYC tunnels with salt water from Hurricane Sandy. Imagine what this will do to concrete and signaling systems and rail fasteners (concrete ties) and rail web.
