Train accident in next town over
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 9:56 pm
Earlier this evening a train derailed in the town of Rockford, IL which is just thirty or so miles from my hometown. The train was carrying tanks of ethanol which caught fire.
Right now firefighters from several area departments are fighting the blaze, trying to get it under control. Because of the ethanol everyone within a half mile radius has been evacuated, just as a precaution. Twelve civilians are reported to have been injured as a result of the accident.
