Another DM&E derailment

Another DM&E train has derailed again, this time in Pierre, S.D.

People ask why this happens so frequently. The adjacent photo was taken of track near Courtland, Minn., where a DM&E train derailed November 24 of last year, spilling 30,000 gallons of ethanol. Notice that part of the metal is peeling away from the rest of the rail.

Should this be a cause of concern? Apparently not to the DM&E, as this is rail that numerous people must have walked by to get from the crossroad nearest the derailment, CR 24/45, to the area of the spill.

Stay Thuned -- er, tuned....
