Train crashes and derails in my town

in #accident7 years ago (edited)

Early this morning a train had crashed somehow in the town I live in, and since I work second shift and i was awake, my wife and i went to check it out.

Obviously we couldnt get very close but it was still pretty crazy looking. Not sure if anyone was injured or what caused it, but some news outlets say two trains collided while others just say a derailment. The nearby trailer park was evacuated for hazmat reasons but it seemed just precautionary, the accident happened just outside of town it wasnt all that close to any homes. Theres better pictures of it on the internet and as the story develops im sure there will be even more, but I thought i would just throw on here what i saw.

(Its a bit blurry and dark, my camera isnt that great. Open in a new window for larger.)

Hopefully no one was injured, but any accident involving a train is super serious.

The portion circled is about where the accident was, its a bit off from any main roads and still a bit away from the side roads.

Below are a couple links of local news places following the story:
