Currently, numerous law enforcement, Hazmat teams, and other agencies are responding to a Runaway train carrying 180 train cars heading 80mph with no one on it as the crew had to jump off.

It was first reported in Baker heading towards Barstow California but the train has crashed and derailed in Kelso California Police are confirming multiple train cars have been derailed and damaged.

My Thought as well

Better stop it in Kelso than Barstow.
The Rail Yard in Barstow is aHuge Hub and that would have shut down a good deal of product transports.

Maybe that was their pan all together.

So why did they have to jump off?

It's just a matter of time until we have a really big catastrophe involving a train. there used to be car limits in populated areas as well as roll by speed limits. Not anymore. They have relaxed the rules to allow the railroads to do just about anything they want.

Looks like there really is nothing much to see here. It was 55 cars and two locomotives carrying iron ore. Nothing toxic according to a Fox news affiliate in Barstow.

Well, Kelso isn't quite "Hell", but it's gotta be nearby, so maybe some music is appropriate?

Barkersfield is the Armpit of California.

I thought everyone knew that.

Arvin now, that might be a bit lower than an armpit. wink

I'm pretty confident they've still got speed limits imposed on them. They slow to 20mph or so through town here then it's back up to 60 or so.

Iron Ore Scattered all over the Barstow Rail junction would have been a real bad disaster to clean up.

It could have stopped a lot of Trains that run through that area.
