Oil Tank Cars Derail near Albany NY

I thought it would be a good idea to document this event from Friday February 28, 2014 here on the great orange satan. I searched and could not find another post. It did not receive much news coverage. I live within 10 miles of the rail yard where this happened and within two miles of tracks that carry trains of these oil tank cars.

Here is the news release from the New York State Department of Transportation WEBSITE
