Re: Train Derailment near Milwaukee (Washingon County)
http://www.jsonline.com/news/ozwash/jul02/59094.asp Associated Press Last Updated: July 15, 2002 Allenton - A 70-car freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed Monday afternoon, causing a fire and sending 16 cars off the track in Washington County. The Canadian National freight derailed about 2:30 p.m. on Wildlife Road near County Trunk K about a mile west of U.S. 41, said Washington County Sgt. Jill Raffay. "They are having a hard time getting up to evaluate what happened because of the fire that is going on," Raffay said. There were no reported injuries. Some of the 16 cars were carrying hazardous materials, she said, but the type of materials was not immediately known. "The ones on fire were not the ones with hazardous material." At least four fire departments were on the scene and a hazardous materials team from Milwaukee was on the way, Raffay said. Some side roads were closed due to the accident, but no major highways were shut down, she said. There are some houses in the area but no one has been evacuated, Raffay said. Raffay did not know the train's destination or origin. "It was probably going northbound because the engine stopped in Allenton," she said. A more complete version of this story will appear online later tonight and in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in the morning. --- Matt Levine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Anybody know if there's any fiber runs affected? > > > Regards, > Matt > -- > Matt Levine > @Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > @Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ICQ : 17080004 > AIM : exile > GPG : > http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6C0D04CF > "The Trouble with doing anything right the first > time is that nobody > appreciates how difficult it was." -BIX >
