Original Post

I'm too tired to do much more than post the story and the photograph. A reader sent me the story; the reader's nephew took a photo with a drone; they sent me the photo.

First, the story, at this link: a derailment in Iowa, 160 miles north of Omaha. Warren Buffett might be interested in driving out to see it. It's one of his trains, a BNSF train.

Second, the photo. The article does not capture what a derailment looks like.

I think one can assume if the Keystone XL were completed, this spill would not have taken place.
