Adrian derailment
Adrian derailment
Apparently there was a derailment in Adrian yesterday involving at least 1 ruptured tank car and 9 total. The car was leaking CO2. There were no reported injuries from the incident.
I dont think the railroad was listed, but my guess was NS.

Re: Adrian derailment
So it appears CO2 is coming from NS which explains why there hasn’t been any on CN in a while.

Re: Adrian derailment
Can you link us to this thread? I can't find it. I'm trying to figure out where this tank car was being stored that it is just allowed to roll through a crossing.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Sat Aug 03, 2024 12:17 pmADBF had a loaded tank car of CO2 from Airgas get loose and roll into NS 358.

Re: Adrian derailment
Is there some business there that produces it, or was this just storage? Does A&B have any actual customers in Adrian?

Re: Adrian derailment
Surprising that there was no electric derails at that diamond. I bet there will be now.

Re: Adrian derailment
Someone wide told me that FRA mandates derails on any diamond that is PTC (NS) and non-PTC (adbf) if the PTC line is 40 mph or greater. Thru Adrian, it is not 40 mph.

Re: Adrian derailment
They will get the CO2 directly from the ethanol plant. CO2 is a byproduct of the ethanol process.
