A rockslide caused a CSX train to go off the rails in Eastern Kentucky, causing a fire and sending at least one engine and multiple cars into the Big Sandy River. The southbound train had 96 loaded ethanol cars and two loaded rock cars when it derailed in Draffin, Kentucky, around 7:05 a.m., CSX said.

Posting about hot women without posting pictures is the worst possible thing on the O-T.


Posting about big fires or explosions without pictures is a close second.

My dad and his family are from that area. Mountainous doesn't really begin to accurately describe the geography.

It’s water soluble, so if it is fish are fuct.

It’s not good for boat motors and small engines.

Thanks for this. Our local TV news mentioned it, but forgot to say where it happened other than "Kentucky".

In a high enough dose I suppose it is. It's more or less the same as pouring vodka into their environment.

Facebook video of derailment and fire



Engineer and conductor stuck on the engine out in the middle of the water. That would suck.

Know a couple guys that sat on top of their engine for a couple hours in the Mississippi waiting for a boat.
