Also last week, a 101-car Illinois Central Gulf train jumped the tracks in Cades, Tenn. Among the derailed cars was one filled with caustic sodium hydroxide. Two days later 33 cars of a 91-car train, including one flatcar with a truck trailer containing 200 cases of flammable insecticide, derailed near Bowling Green, Ky. In neither accident were there any deaths or injuries...
