Train Derailment Near Proposed Grand Terrace High School

There was yet another derailment on Saturday, just south of Grand Terrace in the Highgrove area, was cleared by Sunday morning.

This is the second derailment in less than 4 months in the area of GT and Highgrove. Lets remember the proximity of the working Rail Tracks and the AES Power Station, and the Proposed Grand Terrace High School. It is one thing to risk Adults in a "Industrial or Commercial Facility" to the risks inherent to the location. IT is entirely something else to risk the lives of up to 3000 students many of whom will need transportation if there were a need to evacuate the Proposed High School due to a Damaged Fuel or Chemical Tank.

Perhaps all the Planners should look at this Perfect Storm of a Problem.
