Q Town mayor: ‘No one told us’ about upcoming train derailment drill

Quantico Marine Corps Base  will conduct a full-scale exercise on the base on May 25 that will simulate a train derailment on the main side of the base. The exercise, the largest conducted at the base in about 12 years, will test the ability of the base and Prince William County emergency responders to react and work together in an emergency.

The tracks run along the main side of the base, along the Potomac River, carrying freight, Amtrak, and Virginia Railway Express commuter trains. The train station sits at the entrance of Quantico Town -- home to about 600 people living in the only tOKown nestled inside a U.S. military installation.
