bikkuri bahn Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Something seemingly rare- a freight train derailment around noon today: http://www.fnn-news.com/news/headlines/articles/CONN00194510.html It was on the JR Narita Line around Namekawa Station, a ten car freight train derailed its last two cars, with one coming to rest on its side. The train originated at Tokyo Freight Terminal, and was destined for Kashima Soccer Stadium sidings, which serves a large chemical plant area (combinato). Link to comment

disturbman Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Well, after what just happened I guess that's not really that much important or relevant any more. Link to comment
