Slinger derailment caused by train backing into path of another
2014-11-24 07:29:37| Railroads - Topix.net
Human error - unintentionally backing the rear of a freight train onto another rail line - caused a two-train collision and derailment last July in Slinger that prompted the evacuation of more than 120 village residents, according to reports submitted to federal transportation officials. The jumble of overturned locomotives, upended freight cars and broken track visible the next morning immediately south of Slinger High School amounted to more than $3.1 million in damages, say the incident reports publicly released by the Federal Railroad Administration.

Agency: CSX to continue testing after derailment
2014-10-30 16:10:27| Waste Management - Topix.net
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality says CSX will conduct regular testing on the James River through next summer to monitor the effects of April's train derailment and oil spill in Lynchburg. The agency issued a violation notice against CSX shortly after the fiery derailment, which dumped an estimated 30,000 gallons of crude oil into the river.
