Sometimes we have to play with trains...

Saturday morning around 9:45 a.m. a train derailed in Altoona, Pennsylvania. There were in total 107 cars that were on the train itself. 17 were derailed and out of them 9 were completely smashed. Luckily, no one was injured during the incident. The train cars were hauling white vans that had minimal fuel on all the vans. Overall it took a little over 20 hours to complete the clean up process. In total, there were 4 rail lines that were damaged, a road on the side of the tracks, and a car that was smashed after the derailment.
