@cbsnews: One person was killed and four were injured after a freight train crashed into a tractor-trailer, then it derailed and hit the Chamber of Commerce building in Pecos, Texas, officials said. Three of the cars on the train were carrying potentially hazardous material, but there had been no breach, Charles Lino, Pecos' city manager, said. Authorities are evaluating the incident, the city said, and there is no risk to the public. #pecos #texas #train

My dad is retired RR. We lived a mile from the tracks. This is SO bad. My dad almost died in derailments including one by my house that exploded for a week and we smelled for years. Now, I have cancer

As a railroader wife this is a constant fear for me as there’s nothing the crew can do in these situations 🥺

Why are trains going that fast through towns anyway? They definitely don’t go that fast where I’m from in Canada

Weight sensors on the road by train tracks that could alert the train conductor of possible stalled vehicles would an interesting concept. Since this keeps happening. 🤔
