@allenra530 wrong derailment, that was a CN ethanol train near Rockford IL.... communication failures on the part of CN mostly, although police could've been more proactive in alerting oncoming trains.

@skullking180x The county sheriff released a patrol car video after the NTSB investigation that showed a washed out culvert at the edge of the road crossing. About 10 feet of track was hanging in the air in the patrol car vidoe. I don't know why the department didn't notify the railroad in time. The video release said there was about 20 minutes between the deputy filming the washout and the train hitting it.

I remember this night. I thought the whole town was burning. The first casualty would have been that "skin house." The staging area for all the emergency workers was in the Foodland parking lot. Nothing but revolving red lights that night. Of course, during the cleanup, the crews destroyed BIG ROCK (Blue Rock). One more piece of history gone. Love the RATM track in the video. Thanks

@Tr2u1ck You hear constant CSXT/BNSF bashing because you listen to uneducated railfans.
There's only one source for the truth and that is actual industry statistics that report on incidents per ton mile or carload handled.
Advice is to completely ignore the few railfans who enjoy trashing roads they do not like and listen to those who work in the industry for a living.
Considering ton miles handled...all railroads in North America are amazingly safe.
