On thi cold and chilly March day, I was able to get some photos of the train derailment that happened in Nanticoke a few years back. Only these seven tankers remained with their trucks scattered about - all sitting in a famers field. The track was already repaired with fresh ballast. There was also some environmental concern, as evidenced in the ditches beside the tracks. This leads me to believe that the tankers were full when they derailed, although I don't know what or how this derailment was caused.
