Itβs another day, so there are new misadventures in the sad story of the destructive train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
Now a man says ashes have fallen on his home more than a mile away from a controlled burn at the wreck. And near his house, an undetonated blasting cap was found that he believes is related to the burn.
What is going on with this event? Why is it unique?
In nearly 200 years of railroad history, there have been plenty of derailments.
Many are no more than what motorists would call a fender bender β a wheel of a slow-moving railroad car falls off the rail and with the laws of physics on their side, skillful railroaders can use tools and even rocks to wrestle the erring wheel back to where it belongs.
Some train wrecks β especially those involving passenger trains β have had fatalities, sometimes in the dozens. And in other situations, as in East Palestine, people have been driven from their homes due to spills of hazardous material.
