A freight train derailed in south suburban Blue Island Wednesday night, police said.
Crew remained on the scene Thursday morning, working to clear the train cars that detailed. It is expected it to be a slow, painstaking task.
It happened near 136th and Chatham streets in Blue Island. Officials said a preliminary investigation has revealed approximately 15 cars with one possible tanker derailed. Authorities said they've confirmed that no hazardous materials were spilled at the scene. At this time, it is not known if there are any injuries, but several parked vehicles near the track were crushed by the toppled train cars.< "At around 9:24pm, a CSX train derailed 13 cars in Blue Island, IL at the Thornton, Rd and 136th street crossing. There were no hazardous materials involved. There were no injuries as a result of the incident and no leaks or spills.
Of course, the big question is: how did this happen? The NTSB is expected to arrive on the scene Thursday morning.

Impact of Blue Space Geometry on Urban Heat Island MitigationA growing body of literature recognises the importance of nature-based solutions in providing resilience to the effects of climate change by mitigating urban heat islands. However, a knowledge gap exists regarding the contribution of blue spaces to the urban environment. Recent evidence suggests that blue spaces within urban canyons can promote pollutant removal via the vertical transport of air under certain conditions, but this is inconclusive. Using a numerical solver that accounts for evaporation effects, we investigate the influence of blue space size and shape on the in-canyon flow structure, temperature and water vapour distribution. Simulations were performed for water bodies of varying size and shape at different temperatures compared to the surrounding air. Results suggest that inadequately sized warmer water bodies are unable to promote sufficient vertical transport for pollutant removal, leading to overturning and increased temperature and humidity levels at the pedestrian level, thereby worsening environmental conditions and increasing the risk of heat-related illness and mortality. Hence, larger water bodies are better suited to nocturnal transport of pollutants and accumulated warm air away from the urban surface, while smaller water bodies are better suited to providing localised evaporative cooling. Lastly, irregular water bodies may have a greater cooling effect across a larger area.
