#TrainDerailment spills 1,200 gallons of #DieselFuel near #PenobscotRiver
Maine Public | By Nick Song
Published July 3, 2024 at 5:13 PM EDT"About 1,200 gallons of diesel fuel spilled during a train derailment near #Mattawamkeag on Tuesday.
"The derailment occurred at 4:55 p.m. on Tuesday at a rail yard in Penobscot County according to railway operator #CSX Transportation. The Lincoln Fire Department which responded to the scene reported a train engine had collided with a parked boxcar on the rails. While no one was injured, the collision upended one boxcar and derailed another.
"The derailed car proceeded to sideswipe the locomotive’s fuel tank according to CSX, rupturing the tank and causing the fuel to spill approximately 1,200 gallons onto the ground. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection said cleanup crews managed to safely transfer an additional 2,450 gallons out of the damaged fuel tank.
"The #MaineDEP said the department flew a drone from the sheriff's office and a Maine Forest Service aircraft to see if any fuel ended up in the nearby Penobscot River. Both did not see any fuel sheen on the river, indicating no fuel ended up in the waterway.
"CSX and the Maine DEP both said they are working together to clean the fuel and will continue monitoring the site through the holiday weekend. CSX said the cause of the incident is under investigation."

Animals falling sick, dying near hellish #Ohio train derailment site
"Animals are falling sick and dying near the site of a hellish Ohio train derailment last Friday which released toxic chemicals into the air, according to reports — sparking fears of the potential health impacts the crash could have on humans.
"Taylor Holzer, owner of a dairy farm just outside the evacuation zone in East Palestine, told WKBN several foxes he keeps on his property have become mortally ill." [...]
"Professor Kevin Crist, the director of Ohio University’s Air Quality Center, noted that the chemical can also cause cancer of the liver and other organs."

NIRS: Stop Nuclear Waste Transport
"Commercial high level radioactive waste has been stored at more than 100 nuclear reactors across the country since the first commercial nuclear reactor began operating in Shippingport, Pennsylvania in 1957. This intensely radioactive waste is first cooled underwater in 40 foot deep water-cooled pools that are rapidly filling beyond capacity.
"[If a long-term nuclear waste disposal site like #YuccaMountain is approved], thousands of shipments of containers of the most concentrated commercial radioactive waste by way of roads, rails, and waterways would be triggered. These hazardous shipments would impact every local community through which they pass."

> “The rail industry has sucked profits out of their workforce to pay big dividends and compensate stockholders,” said Ron Kaminkow, general secretary of the cross-union Railroad Workers United. “They jack up prices, cut costs, poorly maintain their locomotives and facilities, just to make money. Is this a good thing for the American people?”

Ohio Train Derailment Could Bring Cancer Risk, Millions in Damage
(Bloomberg)
"Nearly two weeks after a train carrying #carcinogenic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, the extent of the damage to the nearby community is still unclear. Railroads face a traffic backlog and operator Norfolk Southern Corp. could rack up tens of millions of dollars in costs.
"Though residents have been allowed to return to their homes, many remain concerned about the long-term environmental effects of the Feb. 3 accident. Some of them watched from a distance as a fiery cloud blazed above the wreckage after Norfolk Southern, in conjunction with authorities, decided to intentionally vent and burn some of the railcars to avoid a potential explosion.
“'I’ve had discussions with some people who live right near ground zero who are hesitant to come back,' said James Wise, a local attorney who filed a class-action lawsuit against Norfolk Southern on behalf of some residents. 'There are people with young children and they don’t know what effects it’s going to have.'"
