 >     Japantown Train Derailment
 >     This morning a Union Pacific freight train heading northbound
 >     towards downtown where-I-live jumped its tracks right before Taylor
 >     Street.   The train carrying 10+ cars was traveling about 10 to 15
 >     miles an hour. One of the cars which was a granite car was empty
 >     at the time of derailment. One of the wheels that weighs over a
 >     ton rolled off to the side of the tracks. There were no injuries
 >     involved and police cordoned off the area.  If you would like to
 >     see pictures please go ahead and click on the pic.
