Probably going to be quite a while before those poor people can return to their houses.

I love the sound of the train whistles blowing day & night in the distance - a few miles. I do plan my derailment escape because the trains usually have lots of tanker cars. About 10 yrs ago, a few cars derailed in my town but lucky nothing toxic.
