A BNSF freight train derailed in Kern County, California Saturday morning at the Tehachapi Loop tunnel entrance just South of Keene, California. The train was headed from Barstow to Stockton. One tank car carrying denatured alcohol ruptured and caught fire. Some Residents of the area were evacuated to a temporary shelter set up at Tehachapi High School.
Kern County Sheriff's deputies helped with evacuations, while the Kern County Fire Department responded to deal with the fire and possible hazardous materials spill.
In other Saturday 2/20 news, 3 teenage girls were killed crossing a Florida East Coast Railway bridge in Melbourne. Totally preventable, and a reminder why Project Lifesaver should be in every school.
