So I'm at work, and they have a problem with derailments. I offer a suggestion to end them, but the boss (moron fuckstick) shoots it down. Well, it only took a week to have a mega-derailment.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The derailment of seven rail cars in the CSX Moncrief yard early Monday lead to a school evacuation after turpentine spilled out of one of the cars.
The derailment occurred around 4:40 a.m. Monday when rail cars were being switched around, according to Gary Sease of CSX Public Relations.
Five of the cars were on their side while two of the cars were off the track by just a wheel or two, Sease said. The cars were rerailed by 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Students and staff participating in a summer school program at nearby S. P. Livingston Elementary School were evacuated to West Jacksonville Elementary School, according to Jill Johnson with Duval County Public Schools.
The school was cleared yesterday and the program is back at Livingston today, Johnson said.
Soil that was impacted by the turpentine is still being removed today, Sease said. Repair on the tracks will continue after the July 4 holiday.
Sease said derailments are not common and CSX works hard to prevent such incidents through car and track maintenance, Sease said.
An investigation into how the derailment occurred will take a few weeks to complete, Sease said.

The derailment is well part the 1M mark. It will probably be 1.5 - 2 M by the end of the year. My suggestion was to have all inbound crews restore switches. It's a common courtesy anyways, but not everyone does it. So make it a rule and it will happen. Instead, the dumb fuck boss buys everyone a little foam ball to remind them of switches being wrong. People are leaving empty boxes in his office, so it will be easier for him to pack his shit when he is demoted. :rofl
