Intermittent wanderings exploring elements of geography and cartography. |
Recently, a train derailed south of Seattle on a new stretch of tracks that were intended to reduce commute times. The train was reportedly traveling at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour over the speed limit for that segment of rail line. An article by the Washington Post contains explanatory imagery and graphics of the train derailment. That information can be found by clicking here. The derailment closed southbound Interstate 5 for several days as first rescuers freed people from the derailed cars, then the NTSB conducted an on-site investigation, and finally the wreckage was cleared and taken away.
