Train carrying hazardous material derails in Hardin County (wave3.com)

COLESBURG, Ky. (WAVE) - A railroad train carrying hazardous material derailed on Tuesday evening in Colesburg. It happened around 8:15 p.m. on St. Clare Street near I-65, Hardin County Sheriff John Ward said.

Multiple train cars fell into the creek nearby, according to Bryce Shumate with Hardin County Emergency Services.

There have not been any reports of injuries, nor is it known why the train went off the tracks.

Several agencies are assisting with the response, including the Hardin County Sheriffs Office, KSP and the Hardin County Fire Department.

Eh, only seven cars, none of them hazardous, again, I think I cannot remember so many derailments happening everywhere in a relatively short period of time as we have seen lately.

I think it has to do with heat and the doubling, or more, of the size of the

average train. The random make up of a train empty, loads, long cars,

short cars, remote control locomotives. Train resistance, buff, draft, track

geometry. A lot of changes in last couple of years. Learn by fire, there she is 

go get her over the road, yer delaying my train. It's like a hammer--theres

only your doubt knowing how to use it.
