Freight train derails in South Deering

A freight train derailed in South Deering on Friday, sending four tanker cars crashing to the ground near 99th Street and Marquette Avenue. The Chicago Fire Department responded quickly to the scene, with no reports of leaks from the tankers.

And props to those firefighters for keeping their cool and securing the area fast. It's crazy how they were able to contain the situation without any major spills or hazards. Although, I gotta wonder what was in them tankers... it's like something out of a conspiracy movie πŸ˜‚. Anyway, it's always good to know that emergency services are on top of their game.

πŸš‚πŸ˜¬ what a crazy day in Chicago! Derailments can be super scary, but I'm glad to hear that no major spills happened πŸ™. The fact that firefighters were able to contain the situation so quickly is just amazing πŸ’ͺ. It's also great to see that emergency services weren't disrupted by the Metra and Amtrak rail agencies - can you imagine if it was more of a mess? πŸ˜… I'm curious about what kind of stuff was in those tanker cars, though... hopefully we'll find out soon! πŸ€”
 
just another close call with our rail system πŸš‚πŸ˜¬. cant believe how quickly the fire department responded to contain the spill... hopefully it was just chemicals or something that wouldn't cause major damage to the area πŸ‘. seems like we got lucky this time, no reports of any major spills. gotta wonder what kinda goods were on those tankers tho... πŸ€”
 
I think the authorities did a pretty good job in responding to this incident ASAP πŸ™. I mean, can you imagine if there were leaks or something? It would've been a total mess 🀯. I know some people might be worried about the potential hazmat situation, but from what I saw in those videos, it looked like they contained it pretty well πŸ’ͺ.

And yeah, I guess it's good that passenger services weren't affected too much πŸ˜…. But let's be real, we're talking about a freight train derailment here - it's not exactly the kind of thing you want to happen in your neighborhood πŸ™„. Still, kudos to the emergency crews for keeping everything under control πŸ‘.
