A train hauling ethanol derailed and caught on fire early Thursday morning in Raymond, Minnesota, forcing residents to evacuate. After a February derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, we looked into how frequently train derailments occur.
after seeing reports of"a THIRD derailment!!" and said,"It’s not a coincidence anymore, watch your 6.""I know NOTHING about trains — is this a normal occurrence?" one Twitter userWe looked into it, and yes, train derailments happen fairly often. More than 1,000 train accidents happen every year, according to federal data.
The Federal Railroad Administration requires a derailment be reported if it causes more than $12,000 of damage to the track or equipment, said Allan Zarembski, director of the University of Delaware’s Railway Engineering and Safety Program. Many reported derailments happen in yards, which is where trains are assembled before they start their planned routes, Zarembski said.
