This is yet another major train derailment under the Biden administration. We all remember the toxic wreck in East Palestine, OH in 2023.
Injuries have been reported in this collision.

Awful.
How did this happen? I was assured all week that Democrats had put more into infrastructure than anyone ever before!

Must be greed, which is what Biden blamed the Ohio derailment on.
Where's Pete? Where's the safety infrastructures?

We keep asking this question whenever something with transportation goes wrong: where's Mayor Pete?

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: A large train derailment has occurred in Boulder, Colorado after two trains collided and fuel from the train cars leaked into the the Boulder creek.

Investigators believe most of the fuel was absorbed by sand that spilled out of one of the train cars.

We're glad the fuel leak doesn't appear serious, and injuries appear to be minor.
Work continues at the Boulder train collision to get it cleared. The non damaged train cars that were blocking Pearl and Valmont are still moving back north out of the way. Those roads should be opening fairly soon. pic.twitter.com/zISvthQ0ow
