Although most aviation gasoline is 100LL there are special high octane aViation gasolines used by the military us as JP7 and JP8/
Those are not gasoline. JP (jet propellant) means jet or turbine fuel.
Those are jet fuel not gasoline.
If I am going cyclic I prefer cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine.
My, how conventions have changed in the last fifty-seven years![:)]
You have no idea! The current IUPAC name for the stuff is 1,3,5-trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine, which I find almost incomprehensibly complecticated.
Will the derailment cause the replacement of all the old rail and ties with new rail and new ties, so it does not happen again?
Warped logic. The track section may not even be the culprit. They will most likely build/drive a replacement 7 or 8 panel bridge with what ever they have off the shelf and available. (probably a concrete box beam span on steel piling - it’s rare to see a timber pile trestle built any more in country where the agridummies burn ditches and waterways every fall. Local history at the site will apply). The track will be a panel party of 90 or 115# panels (or what ever is available) cut in to restore service followed by sliding one of the rails to eliminate square joints. Track chart seems to indicate they have been using 115# panels in the crossings as they renew them.
Rail and ties that can be salvaged and used again will be.
DEG don’t you just love organic chemistry? Never could undersand how to figure the molecular structure.
Question. What is the protocol for disconnecting the locos and in this case the buffer car from a derailment ? One has to wonder if the front of the train has a serious derailment how long should it take to disconnect and maybe should there be a remote way to disconnect ?
Of course if train separates just drag cars attached to locos even with emergency brakes applied.

Protocall is that conductor goes back as far as he chooses, pulls the pin and crew moves out of the immediate area what they can.

Article in the paper today quotes the NTSB as saying the train was going 10 M.P.H. when the derailment occured. The article then said that 3 of the derailled cars were the old type, and launched into a a huge article about the sky falling.
