Western Railroad Discussion > Derailment at Cameron, TXDate: 02/23/21 07:25 Derailment at Cameron, TX Author: Valleyman just hearing of a derailment at Cameron, Tx. south of Temple. The video I saw, was the power is just clear of the massive fire behind it. Hopefully the crew is safe. Guess from snow and ice, to 70 plus degrees might cause a problem with the rail.

But, not to make lite of a serious incident here is a snipet from BBC translation. "A goods train transporting petrol has burst into flames after colliding with a lorry at a level crossing in the US state of Texas, police say.

Bill Deaver Tehachapi, CA Date: 02/23/21 14:41 Re: Derailment at Cameron, TX Author: texchief1 Was this a grade crossing collision or just a derailment? Anybody hurt or killed? Would appreciate a reliable answer.

Date: 02/23/21 17:47 Re: Derailment at Cameron, TX Author: jimB I may have missed this, but was it an oil train or was it an oil tanker that ran into the train? It wasn't clear, at least to me.

Date: 02/25/21 09:46 Re: Derailment at Cameron, TX Author: BanJoe Th BBC article says the train hit the truck. Another source uts it the other way around. You'd think they'd get that bit of information correct.
Date: 02/25/21 13:12 Re: Derailment at Cameron, TX Author: LX15840 Reports I have read said that it was a mixed consists train, but that the semi hit a part of the train where there were gasoline filled tank cars. It is amazing that there were no injuries.
