释义 |
The Roseville Yard Disaster was an accidental explosion and fire that occurred on 28 April 1973 at a major Southern Pacific railroad yard located in the city of Roseville, California. Subsequent investigation pointed to a small fire in a box car caused by overheated brakes. The US military-owned box car was part of a train of military box cars carrying high explosive aircraft ammunition that had just arrived in the yard after descending from the Sierra Nevada into the Roseville Yard.[1] References1. ^The History of Insensitive Munitions 5 : 1973 in California|Railway accidents in 1973|Railway accidents and incidents in California|Roseville, California|April 1973 events |
