DEVELOPING: Emergency Officials Responding to Two More Train Derailments – One in South Carolina, Another in Texas (VIDEO) [More]
That makes it a spate. And enemy action.
Between these and the power grid attacks, I’m sensing coordination and the question is with whom? Too bad all our agents are busy being provocateurs…

Apparently it was cause by the train hitting a semi and derailing. Those can happening any time if the driver tries to beat the train to the crossing or gets stopped behind traffic.
Nothing nefarious in that one.
From the link:
According to deputies, a truck collided with the train, causing it to derail, ABC 13 Houston reported.
We average over 1075 derailments per year (2019-2022). That would be one every eight hours. That’s just derailments. Add in other train accidents, and it’s over 1,500 per year.
