Cheese Friday™ : "Oh, the Humanity!"

Cheese-bearing train derails
From the Visalia Times-Delta

Railroad tracks warped, officials said, by heat caused a two-car freight train bearing mozzarella cheese to derail Wednesday north of Farmersville.

The San Joaquin Valley Railroad train was carrying cheese from the Leprino cheese plant in Hanford to Fresno when it derailed near Avenue 315 and Charter Oak Drive.

Bob Jones, crew chief of contractors hired to clean up the derailment site, said workers are trying to rescue the cheese.

Jones said 100-plus degree temperatures in the area had weakened and warped the tracks when the train passed over them at 5:15 p.m.
