Coal Train Derails in Kansas

(Topeka, Kansas) Last night, 22 loaded cars of an eastbound coal train and 10 empty cars of a westbound freight train derailed just west of Topeka. Cause of the derailment has not been determined.

I'm suspicious.

It's just too easy for a dedicated evildoer to fiddle with the tracks. Also, the coal train was destined for a smoke-belching, atmosphere-polluting electric power plant.

Of course, the derailment could have been the result of age and degradation of the tracks or rail bed. We'll see.
