[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 6862988, member: 15685"] Case in point - Three crew injured in fiery train derailment caused by rockslide [URL]https://apnews.com/article/train-derailment-west-virginia-new-river-666564e6d74d66bf2550da4e1348ccd4[/URL] Normally, in areas where rockslides are possible, there are fences in place with wires connected to a warning system that alerts dispatchers and crews to a potential landside/rockslide. CSX will have to rethink that in those areas. Edit/update: CSX Transportation Derailment with Hazardous Materials Release and Fire - Cause: Mudslide - too much rain in a given area, but not considered a hazard. [URL]https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/RRD20FR002.aspx[/URL] If they had sent out an inspection crew, perhaps they would not have derailed and lost three locomotives and two tank cars. [URL]https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/RIR2213.pdf[/URL] The train was at reduced speed (24 mph). [/QUOTE]
