ONEIDA, N.Y. —AP- A train carrying propane derailed in upstate New York Monday morning, causing an explosion that sent a huge fireball into the dawn sky. Black smoke poured out for hours as the city’s downtown was evacuated.
Ouch.
CSX, who owns that line, has not had a good time of it the last few months. This would be the third derailment I know if in that timeframe, the second major one. They’ve suspended Amtrak service to the area. Which means, Empire service… the whole Albany to Toronto run… is out for Amtrak.
