@SheriFelipe: Wow guys. The train derailed right outside my building. Pray that no one is hurt. #lynchburg
The fire department is now allowing the fire to burn out after accessing the situation.

That is real wisdom from a local fire department. If they don’t have regular hazmat/petrochem type training, just keep it from spreading.
The tracks skirt the James River on the edge of downtown, near several businesses and an old shoe manufacturing company that has been converted into apartments. Officer Paul Cole of the Lynchburg Police Department said those shops and the apartment complex were evacuated as a precaution. The courthouse also was closed, though Cole said it is four blocks from the accident scene at 10th and Commerce streets.
The derailment occurred between about 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m., Svrcek said. Fire crews are on the scene. Jefferson St. and Commerce St. are closed in the downtown area, as are a pair of bridges to adjacent Amherst County, Svrcek said. The cause of the crash remains unknown, she said.
Lynchburg is a city of about 75,000 people, more than 100 miles west of Richmond. It’s also where Liberty University is located.
First people on my list to check out would be the environazis, they don't care how much carnage they cause in the name of gaia.
The “Depot Grill” sits right there. Good place to eat.
didn’t something like this happen in Canada a few months ago? train rolled in and exploded dead-center of town, wiping out everything
was this an attempted terrorist attack?
Sorry, Johnny Cash Wreck of Old 97 was what came to mind when I read the headline. I hope nobody was hurt.
Street View of the parking lot at the end of 9th-10th Streets by the tracks where the derailment happened. That’s all a fairly new park area, it used to be factories. If you spin the camera and look back up the hill to the big brick building that says “CRADDOCK-TERRY” down the side, that’s the shoe factory that’s been converted into apartments.
Stuff like this makes me kind of glad I’m moving in a few weeks. I live less than 100 feet from the Norfolk Southern mainline running between Charlotte and Salisbury, NC. Hundreds of placarded tank cars roll by here and right through downtown Kannapolis every day.

MSM Benghaziing the crude oil in the James River saying too early to know the environmental impact. BUT... BP oil was immediately bad. With the no pipelines promotion by the hut they have their narrative directive (expressed and implied) to dutifully march to.
