Can you believe two train wrecks in Kentucky in two days?

That guy who owns that CSX-sucks website is going to love this. Bad publicity is the last thing CSX needs.

As I posted on another thread they also had a coal train derail in Crofton Ky about two weeks ago. They say bad things happen in threes.
