Train derails in downtown Kirklands Illinois

seems a train derailed , with no apparent cause yet.

read the story here: http://www.wifr.com/home/headlines/1409392.html

This story also appeared in the Chicago Tribune this morning. Seems it was an I.C.E. train and the cargo was almost 100% corn destined for a Chicago interchange of some sort.

Thankfully it was not a dangerous cargo that spilled. [;)]

Yes, but it did derail near lot’s of power lines and several above ground fuel tanks. this is a small town, no more than about 2000 people in it.

Cool, they didn’t say on the news here and haven’t gotten todays paper yet, so didn’t know it was an ICE train.

Luckily no one got hurt.
