As Ohio continues to investigate the damage caused by a Norfolk Southern derailing earlier this month, another train carrying hazardous materials derails, this time outside Detroit, Michigan.
Fox News reports that a train, which had one car of hazardous materials, derailed on Thursday (February 16th) in Van Bure Township, Michigan. The cause of the incident is not known and there were no injuries. Authorities also confirmed that this is not considered a hazmat situation. It was further reported that at least six cars were seen off the track. The roads are to remain closed while the investigation is ongoing.
Michigan Congresswoman, Debbie Dingell, released a statement to WXYZ about the latest derailing. “My team and I have been in touch with Supervisor Kevin McNamara, the Van Buren Fire Department, and other local officials regarding the train derailment in Van Buren Township,” Dingell shared. She also revealed that her team is in touch with federal authorities. Which includes the EPA. “At this time, no one is aware of the release of any hazardous material, the car carrying hazardous material has been put upright and is being removed from the area of the other derailed cars.”
Dingell then explained that the EPA is dispatching a team to ensure public safety. “We will continue to monitor the situation very closely and remain in touch with federal, state, and local officials, and release additional information as it becomes available.”
Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) also released a statement that it is aware of the situation. “EGLE personnel are on their way to the scene to assist in assessing the situation.”

Is this the 4th or 5th since Jan 26?
Torch it! Smoke won’t hurt anyone, EPA said.
Another non coincidence. I expect that rat skank Dingell to blame Trump by the end of the day.
Trash Can Man is loose and leaving a trail of destruction in his wake!
East Palestine, not so much.
Wow, the government hasn’t yet lit it on fire?
The water will be, uh, what’s the term, “safe and effective”. No, really. 🛢🚂🔥
If there is a connection between the two separate derailments, and if it was sabotage, and if the perps were foreigners, it ia a dire statment of the detailed level of intelligence penetration by those foreigners. If that question is not under consideration by our own intelligence services, then that is an even more dire situation.
RE: Is this the 4th or 5th since Jan 26?
Like the food processing and warehousing sites with mysterious fires the past two years, I lost count.
Someday like SDS 60s agitator Bill Ayres (later esteemed Chicago university professor) who said much later of the bombings of homes and offices “I actually don’t regret them. I wish we had done more.” the current Leftists will later say “In 2023 people were so stupid they heard our lame excuses about coincidences and they bought it. So dumb.”
The railroad infrastructure aged and gave out in one month.
Sure......
Michigan governor asks that everyone in Detroit hold their breath until they’re able to contain the hazardous material.
It’s part of Buttjudge’s new money saving plan. Only lay 2/3 of the tracks for the trains and hope they can stay on course that 1/3 of the time.
Atlas Shrugged anyone? Whos is John Galt?
Compare and contrast responses to both catastrophes. “White trash” (h/t James Ragin’ Cajun Carville) vs AA aka Red vs Blue.
It probably derailed weeks ago.
No one noticed.
No, but the “build back better” fraud bill needs to be passed so congress can make billions of dollars.
So yeah, let’s detail some trains and collapse some bridges.
And knock out cellular nationwide, and destroy a few power stations.
Is it adding up yet? This stuff has to be broken to fulfill the prophecy stated if the bill didn’t pass.
Trump needs to cut this out already.
Build back better is the end of the sentence.
They forgot to put in, destroy first, then build back better.
