A freight train derailed after striking a rockslide in Sandstone, West Virginia, injuring three crew members and spilling diesel fuel into a nearby river, according to a press release.

The three crew members were in the locomotive, which caught fire after the derailment, and are being treated for non-life threatening injuries, CSX said. An unknown amount of diesel fuel and oil spilled into the New River, and containment measures will be deployed, CSX said. The company also noted that the coal train was empty and was not transporting hazardous materials. “The incident posed no danger to the public,” the CSX release said.

Bowman was unsure whether the fire had been extinguished. The company said its team is in close contact with police and fire officials. West Virginia officials said in a release a rockslide caused the derailment. “CSX owns twelve feet from the middle of the track to either side and will be responsible for cleanup. The company is sending a spill response unit that will coordinate with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection on mitigation and remediation efforts.

Not just “ a river” but the New River, one if the oldest rivers in the world, a National Park river. Quit destroying the environment for profit!

Where's the infrastructure money?

Why hasn’t GovJimJustice visited the site?

Wow, Pete's amazing at this. Why don't we just go back to covered wagons?

Common sense this isn’t happening on its own. Someone is behind all these trains derailing. One or two maybe but…..

How many coincidences before its mathematically impossible?

Is it train derail season?

Where’s BUTTIgeg?

WTF

I'm starting to think people are putting pennies on the tracks

Can you look into what the CIA know about the RNC hack? They were hacked at the same time as the DNC when Hillary’s emails were released. Ever since the RNC hack, the entire GOP has been in lock step with Donald Trump. What is Putin blackmailing the GOP with? Please find out.

This is war and complete sabotage!

Can’t have a train accident without a nearby river, nope just have to.
