Sure looks like enemy activity from where I’m sitting. Anyone seriously reckon that Putin’s just gonna let Nordstream and all those Russian boys dead by US-directed and US-provided bombs go unanswered? Having a big open border makes his job easy.
Wonder if it was meant to derail by DTW Metro Airport, its just a mile east from there.
This asymmetric war isn’t much fun.
Agreed boss21
The average number of derailments from 2019 to 2022 is 3 per day. Per day. That’s 1000 to 1200 per year, on average.
Other than the magnitude of the damage from the one in Ohio, this isn’t abnormal.
I hope the disaster in New Palestine does not eclipse the number of casualties that happened in North Dakota in 2002
Where did you get your numbers?
Here in the US there’s about 1 per year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_railroad_accidents
I don’t have numbers on how many derailments we average, but there are a lot more than one per year. I know of multiple derailments that have happened in this area, some of which I saw in person, that aren’t on that list. Most of them don’t result in significant loss of life or damage, but they are still derailments. There is at least a person or two on here as well that work in the rail industry who will tell you there are more than one per year, and can give a lot more info than I can.
Finally found a credible source other than the several news sites that were citing a plethora of stats. Also called a friend who works the rails and on cars. He said that “it’s not what people think. anytime a car pops off the rail, a report is made except in the repair yards. Often the trains are derailed at low speed and remain standing.” That puts it in context.
Here’s the big ugly; they are going to nudge the people of the Ohio valley to leave… https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2023/02/16/why-is-fema-derailing-efforts-to-assist-east-palestine-ohio-n2619686
They are going to do it by playing the ball as it lies, if you will. The takeaway isn’t “How often it happens; it’s what the response to these accidents are, and how they are going to shape OUR future.

BTW Blackrock owns about 3.8 Billion dollars of Norfolk Southern and those chemicals were probably going to make Solar Panels. One other thing people don’t know is that chemicals like butyl acetate usually has another chemical put in so that it won’t polymerize during shipment. This is way bigger than people are being told even by Truth Media Sources, because they have no way of knowing this crud.
That’s what I was getting at- there are derailments all the time, but that doesn’t mean that they are major disasters, even though they make it into the statistics.
Did find this data from FRA to Gov website. It supports your position.

So isn’t this near Detroit, an already partially depleted manufacturing center? Interesting!
BTW those cars in the right side of picture are the ones carrying chemicals. Also interesting that, that is where she bunched up…
