Apologies if these have already been suggested or if they already exist in the game.

Trans jump red lights
Vehicles dont stop at rail-crossings.
Cargo explode. For example, oil cargo

Regarding trains jumping red lights, I think that'd be too confusing because you don't know if it's a bug in your rail system or what.

Regarding vehicles not stopping at rail-crossings, they have already enough trouble with this ;-).

Regarding exploding cargo, that's not so bad idea, I actually like that. Kaboom, the train is destroyed, 2 dead. Why not if it's very rare. ;-)

About trains jumping red lights: get a news message if this happens or so?

What about floods or derailings?

Let's see:

Random derailing of trains. Primarily at points/curves.
Grounding/sinking of ships. - Maybe can only happen if a way-away from a lighthouse
road-vehicle crash - two vehicles collide.
power-outage - electrc/mono/maglev's stop working for a while. could probably take out airports too, and thus ground planes.
bad weather at an airport.
boats colliding with each other.

And assuming seasons are ever implemented (as i say in another thread) u can have weather based disasters too:
summer - heat-wave - trains slow down.
autumn - leaves on the line

winter - snow-storm - airports shutdown.
etc etc

The above happen all of the time IRL (well with varying degrees of regularity).
I don't particularly expect to see all of the above in the game, but i hope some of them make their way in. my fave is probaly the power-outage.

This could IMHO be combined with the aging of rails. Eg. after 30 or 40 years you should have some maintenance people go out and replace some of the bad tracks. Causing massive traffic jams, of course...

I think we should have more control over certain disasters, like a signal shutdown system button.

Check out this topic,

I've posted some disaster suggestion and some of them seems really cool:
