First trip too, a mayor in a neighboring city said it was a bad idea due to the tracks being used for freight trains.

They renovated the tracks but, this is just speculation from the mayor, they didn't do enough to make it secure enough for high speed trains.

It's Dupont for sure. I'm watching the news with my gramps. I5 south is closed and fucked. They said it could be closed for up to 3 days. We'll see how many people end up being dead, but it looks like 100 reported injuries already.

Holy fucking shit. A train got derailed somehow and ran off onto the fucking freeway. Main freeway might be closed for 3 days. This shit is insane.

No idea how fast this one was going. It looks like the guy was going way to fast around a curve, and then be slammed on the brakes or something. Multiple cars on the freeway, one of them is snapped in half, a few are twisted in all sorts of crazy ways. This shit is fucked. My buddies who commute.to Everett every day are fucked.
