The 2015 Mount Carbon train derailment refers to a derailment in Mount Carbon, West Virginia on February 16, 2015, which involved a CSX Transportation train hauling 107 tank cars of crude oil from North Dakota to Virginia. It resulted in a large oil spill that caught fire with several subsequent large, violent fireball eruptions. The spill, fire, and eruptions destroyed one home, forced the evacuation of hundreds of families and caused the temporary shut down of two nearby water treatment plants.〔 Eventually, 19 railcars carrying crude oil caught fire with each car carrying up to of crude oil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Huge fire in West Virginia after oil train derails, sending tanker into river )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UPDATE 5-CSX train hauling North Dakota oil derails, cars ablaze in W.

==Background==
The train was composed of two locomotives, a covered hopper car acting as a buffer car, 107 tank cars, and a single trailing end buffer car. The train was carrying volatile Bakken crude, from North Dakota's shale fields at Manitou, North Dakota to an oil shipping depot in Yorktown, Virginia. All of the cars were DOT-111 tank cars meeting the Casualty Prevention Circular (CPC)-1232 industry standard. These so-called CPC-1232's were introduced by the rail industry in 2011 to increase the safety of carrying flammable liquids. However, several accidents involving the cars have brought their effectiveness into doubt.
