Another freight train belonging to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP),exploded at Nebraska railway yard, sending immense feathers of toxic perchloric acid.
Reports indicate that the incidental occurred in the city of North Platte in the early afternoon hours of September 14, prompting an evacuation order within 4 miles of the city.
"An emergency evacuation for the area between the shrapnel and the front north of the railway tracks due to a fire on a railway line involving dense toxic smoke" - we read in a post on the social media of the North Platte Volunteered Fire Department.
By late afternoon, North Platte VFD shared the information that the detonation occurred around 12:10 p.m. and was put out the same evening.
Incident happened at Bailey Yard in North Platte in a stationary container aboard the carriage. Perchloric acid inflamed respective close railway cars.
"No Union Pacific personnel were injured and our employees were safely evacuated" - said the UP spokesperson Robynn Tysver in an interview with North Platte Telegraph.
(Related: In the coming years it is expected that "clusters of cancer" will appear throughout east Palestine, where at the beginning of this year a freight train carrying vinyl chloride and another chemicals derailed and was deliberately blown up by the authorities.)
The detonation produced 2 smoke feathers: 1 black and the another orange
In this incident, it was not a train derailment, specified as what took place in East Palestine, Ohio, but alternatively a mysterious detonation that occurred for an unknown reason in a carriage that "was standing in the yard for respective hours."
Incidentally, perchloric acid is simply a dangerous material not only utilized in explosives but besides in certain processed foods, pharmaceuticals and biocidal products. An investigation has begun to find the origin of the "accident".
An evacuation warrant was issued for all homes between Homestead and Front "because of wind and weather change" which authorities feared would send a toxic feather in this direction.
Authorities sent a SMS notification to all affected residents throughout the region, notifying them of the evacuation order and about which areas were evacuated.
"North Platte rescuers rapidly closed U.S. road 30 between Front and Splinter roads, between mile marker 170 and 172 and straight north of the site of Bailey's west hump explosion. Traffic 30 in the US was besides stopped at Buffalo Bill Avenue in North Platte" – reports Further North Platte Telegraph.
" Residents along this long of road and up to 1 mile north were evacuated after reports of 'heavy toxic smoke' coming from the yard, according to texts received from the urban emergency notification system.
Buffalo State historical Park Bill Ranch and the state recreational area were closed due to the explosion, as were the Golden Spike Tower and the visitor center located south of Bailey Yard.
The Nebraska Department of Transportation placed the barricades late on Thursday afternoon on both West A streets and West Front along Lakeview Boulevard. U.S. 30 was reopened for traffic around 5:<>.
"I just saw something and looked, and it was just a large ball of fire," said volunteer Gregg Robertson about what he saw about the detonation while talking to individual inside the tower.
"And then there was only fire, fire, fire, continuous for 10, possibly 12 minutes. And then the fire went quiet and the smoke grew stronger, and then only sparks came out."
According to Robertson, 2 smoke streaks rose from the blast site: 1 in the east, which looked like black smoke, and the another in the west, which looked like orange smoke, "something I did not see from the fire," he commented.
