TTC streetcar derails in downtown Toronto

A Toronto Transit Commission sign is shown at a downtown Toronto subway stop Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graeme Roy A TTC streetcar derailed in downtown Toronto Thursday, causing road closures during the morning commute. Toronto police said the train went off the tracks just after 7:20 a.m. at Bathurst and Dundas streets. No injuries were reported. Road closures are in effect and police are asking motorists to consider alternate routes. At the same time, the TTC says service on the 505 Dundas, 511 Bathurst and 506 Carlton routes have all been impacted due to an overhead power line issue, though it's unclear if that's a direct result of the derailment. Shuttle buses are running. More details to come.

A freight train derailment in Waxahachie is impacting parts of the city's downtown area Tuesday morning.

"Law enforcement, Fire-Rescue, and other city crews are on-site right now working to secure the area so that Union Pacific can begin clearing the derailed train cars," the city posted on social media.

New sabotage derails Russian locomotive near Ukraine

A diesel locomotive derailed in Russia's Belgorod Region on Friday morning after an explosive device planted under the tracks damaged the rails, according to Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. The incident follows what Moscow described as two Ukrainian 'terrorist attacks' on railroad infrastructure last week in the border regions of Bryansk and Kursk, which killed seven people and injured more than 100, including children. 'According to preliminary information, there were no casualties as a result of the explosive device planted under the rails. Train traffic was delayed for 2.5 hours. But now all trains are already running according to schedule,' Gladkov wrote in a post on his Telegram channel at around 6:50am. Repair crews were quickly dispatched to restore the affected section in the Prokhorovsky District of the region, the governor said, noting that he had been personally affected by the delays. 'My train only reached Prokhorovka due to the bombing of the railway tracks,' he said in a video message. 'Thank God that no one was injured, but there is damage.' On Wednesday, a similar case of railway sabotage occurred in Voronezh Region near the Ukrainian border, halting rail traffic and delaying more than 20 trains. Moscow has blamed Kiev for the recent string of incidents, following a ramp-up in Ukrainian drone raids and other attacks on Russian territory. President Vladimir Putin called the deadly train sabotage in the two border regions 'undoubtedly a terrorist act,' aimed at disrupting direct US-backed peace talks between the two countries.
