On October 22, 2007, a train derailed in downtown Middlebury, causing the center of town to go into a state of evacuation. The headquarters of the evacuation was the Middle School, servicing both the high school and the elementary school in Middlebury as the collection point for all people displaced by the accident.

Famous quotes containing the word train:
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
