The Nashville area has no Amtrak, so for them this is the closest they will come to a passenger train accident.  From WKRN-TV, Channel 2 in Nashville, TN, 5/14/15:

Several residents of a Hermitage senior living facility were injured Thursday morning after an accident involving a novelty train occurred.

New details have been released about the novelty train accident that injured several residents of a Hermitage senior living facility on May 14 that injured several elderly riders, including a 97-year-old woman.
