Reply to comment by LiesInRuins in Norfolk Southern train derails in Springfield, Ohio; no hazardous materials aboard, railway company says by XXmynameisNeganXX

Derailment is fairly common, but usually not major ones like this. There are several a week nationwide but most are just one or two wheel sets skipping and having to be set back on the track with a special crane truck. Not sure where this one falls on the scale.

This is the first time where I’ve seen multiple calamitous train derailments in my lifetime in the span of a few weeks.

If we don't count minor ones and vehicle/object on the tracks, yeah. I want it to be just the news being extra jumpy, but I'm not convinced.
