Quick Note -- Derailment -- June 22, 2018

Updates

June 25, 2018: Officials say rail traffic should be running through this area again by Thursday, this week (June 28, 2018).


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.
