What You Should Know! Why A train On Fire Effects You
Wow, we had a big scare in our community two night ago. When we saw the train stop at our property on Fire it was so scary!
We immediately evacuated our house because we were un-knowing what was on fire and if it could explode or what was being held in the tanker cars attached and if they could potentially explode.
We were obviously scared for our lives but we were also scared for our neighbors and community. This was the biggest fire we have ever seen and so out of control the chemicals burning were so gross and hot. It took 3-4 hours to get this fire out and all night to move the train. This was crazy! A lot of hazardous material is transported through the Grand Valley everyday and this could have been much worse.
Our mission in our lives is to be self sustaining sovereign humans and I want that for everyone else as well. We (Scott, Jessica and Clive) are not our business (Field To Fork) we are sovereign humans and we are expressing our creativity and our selves through our work of organic farming this is a creative practice for us and a great outlet and lively hood offering us health and happiness. We enjoy community and creating an alternative for our community to have access to fresh soil rich fruits and vegetables using our artistic medium of soil. We can do our work anywhere but we choose to do it here we choose the Grand Valley.
We have all chosen to do our work here and we have all worked so hard to make the Grand Valley a beautiful place to live. I grew up in the Grand Valley and I have watched it change alot over 40+ years. I love Colorado and the Colorado life I feel we need to voice how important it is to reduce the amount of hazardous material transportation through our community and our State. This is for our safety.
This train fire should hopefully be setting the alarm bells off with your inner thoughts.
This is a major topic in our political scape right now, I understand. But this voice is not political it is spiritual and from the soul. I have had journalist calling all day, social media is going crazy. But that is all a distraction and noise of the actual issue. Of course everyone has an opinion and hopefully it helps stir our community to protect ourselves from these trains carrying extreme hazards. These trains are as powerful and at the same magnitude as the Hiroshima Bomb. If something happened to my farm and my lively hood it would not matter as the after math of a train explosion would decimate our Valley so this has nothing todo with my farm but our community as a whole.
Our world is not slowing down when it comes to energy and the need for more, more, more. It is an insatiable appetite for greed and power and we are about to see more trains very soon. Unfortunately with our existing rail system that was not designed to move these materials these fires and explosions will be more common as our society continues to advance with more need for power.
For Western Colorado this is what you need to know. The Uinta Basin Railway provides new infrastructure that will create 35 two mile long trains a week through the Grand Valley, Glenwood Canyon, along the Colorado River and Through Metro Denver carrying more hazardous material then ever. So dont think this is slowing down and at some point errors and accidents will accure effecting our water shed, toxic pollution and other unthinkable catastrophies.
More Natural Gas, Petrol fuels, Ethenol and other hazard are being hauled unsustainably and here is a article with real stories and data explaining the realities of these bomb trains running through our community.
