view from Utica about 20 miles away

A freight train carrying propane derailed in Canastota/Wampsville this morning. The LOML heard the explosion (I didn't, but I go 'What?' a lot), said it sounded like a car backfire. The site is about 10 miles as the crow flies from the house.

Wow.

10 miles away, that quite a fire there.
Train crew survive?
 
Wiener roast!

LOL :rofl: too funny. the LOML is a firefighter and an EMT and truth be told I Have heard that comment from firemen in the company about a structure fire.
This one is spooky because just a few miles west of there the tracks run right through the center of town. My mentor has his shop about 150 yrds from the tracks.
