With my first ever train ride less than a week away and today I get good news that a train here in town has derailed. I’m thinking this is good since this can’t be a frequent event. Here’s some quotes from the still developing story :

Details are sketchy, but the derailment happened along tracks north of Interstate 670. Engineers were reportedly trying to connect two trains when they crashed. Two cars left the track. One of the cars is on its side.

One person who was riding on the train jumped to avoid the impact. That person was transported to a local hospital with a fractured leg.

A second person was injured while running to the crash scene.

I’m waiting on further details to see how the guy running to the scene got hurt…
