The only train derailment that I have heard of in the past 24h is in
"Northern Nevada":

"A freight train derailed in northern Nevada, triggering a bridge collapse
and major disruptions in rail service on one of the country's main
east-west lines, Union Pacific officials said."

"The derailment occurred Saturday morning in a remote area along the
Humboldt River about 10 miles west of Carlin and 260 miles east of Reno, UP
spokeswoman Zoe Richmond said. "

Caveat: I am not sure this is related to any network outages, etc.
