Mods, if this is in the wrong spot please move. OK so this week has been kinda a bit of hell for BNSF in WA. 3 derailments in as many days. I know derailments happen every day but not big enough to make the news. Day before (12-21-20) https://www.kxro.com/train-derails-outside-montesano/ Yesterday (12-22-20) https://www.king5.com/article/news/...unty/281-1c96bbd0-2dc5-4f06-9a6c-f36ad4bf56e8 Today.

Did you see the pics of that one? Derailed right next to a business and the place didn't burn down! Lucky people right there.
Yep and some very lucky folks right there. the first one of some cars on the ground at Monsanto wasn't too bad. The third one looked like a rough ride for the crew.
My BNSF buddy spent 14 hours straight at the third derailment since it's his section of track. Nobody was happy at that one! He is pretty happy about the overtime/holiday pay though!
I believe the first one listed, at Montesano, was Puget Sound & Pacific. Am hoping after those two nuts up in Whatcom county were caught, that none of this is more of the same stupidity.
