My wife said texted saying she heard the tanker had corn syrup so thats a relief.

A pit bull must have ran across the track to cause that accident.

Wonder what caused it? How the heck does a train come off the tracks like that? I can see sharp turns and excessive speed but...

Umm... broken rail, broken wheel, car runs in the side of the train, dragging equipment, bad train makeup, exessive dynamic braking... the list goes on and on

Damnit, I has some pennies on the track I wanted to flatten out, sorry!

Fort Worth Star Telegram is now reporting it attacked the train and pulled it off the tracks.

I recently got a ticket in Arlington for running a stop sign(California stop)- ticket fine is $236 when I looked it up online train derailment was only $296. I should have got more bang for my buck

Damn, dude. Luck has been a bitch to you lately.

I'm on a 3 day weekend.

You suck.

That's nothing going off that pic. You should see some of the pics I have from derailments I've seen over the years. LOL at the news station. I can tell those are corn syrup cars from the pic.

How long does something like that take to get fixed and moving again?

Considering it's somewhat sort-of in the vicinity of 360 and Division, I'm going to say 8 years.

So that's why traffic is stopped on Cooper and there's a helicopter above me. Time to bust a bitch and head over to Fielder.


DFWM comes through again.

Or until the Super Bowl returns to Jerryworld, whichever is later.

They will clear out the cars still on the tracks pretty quick and the crossings will be opened back up. The ones derailed will be out of the way in a few hours.

Wasn't there a Amtrak train or maybe a freight train that derailed like 15 years ago near the General Motors Plant?

I vaguely remember something about that.

They had a derailment in Arlington / Fort Worth I think last year right by Dottie Lynn / Eastchase Parkway. May have been the year before. Not so much populated there and it only blocked a crossing to someone's home.
