Fire Burns After Another Oil Freight Train Derails, This Time In Canada
In the early hours of this morning, yet another oil-carrying freight train derailed. Canadian National Railways says a fire continues to burn after a train carrying crude oil derailed in Northern Ontario (near Gogama). As yet no injuries have been rported and a team of specialists are on the scene. This is the fourth derailment for CN Rail in Northern Ontario this year.
CN Rail says crews reported the derailment near Gogama, Ontario, about two-and-a half hours north of Sudbury, around 2:45 a.m.
No one was injured in the derailment, CN said.
The company said a number of teams, including senior operations, engineering, dangerous goods and environment officers were responding to the scene.
Ontario Provincial Police said Highway 144 between Highway 560 (Watershed) and Mattagami Reserve Road near the site of the derailment will be shut down for between 24 and 36 hours due to safety concerns.

As CN states:
Train U70451-02 derailed along the Ruel subdivision of the CN main line, near Gogama, ON. The incident, which occurred at 0246hrs EST on Saturday, March 07, is currently impacting rail traffic running between Toronto, ON, and Winnipeg, MB.
CN crews are responding to the site in order to undertake the necessary repairs. Both westbound and eastbound traffic scheduled to cross the affected area is currently obstructed, and may be delayed by 24 hours or more. Every measure is being taken in order to reduce the impact to customer shipments.
We are following the situation very closely and will post further updates on this web page as they become available.

I for one am so pleased Obama saved us from the horrid environmental impact of that disgusting pipeline.
Sincerely, Uncle Warren
It was the Koch Bros that wanted the pipeline. Clearly that is all the info you need to know that Barry's gov would consider it an evil plot to undermine humanity.
...This is called "Payback" Obozo.
Strategic train crashes, and refinery explosions are all in a days work for big oil.
As usual, so called 'environmentalists' don't give a shot about anything but money as the expense of the rest of us. Just like all this global warming nonsense, just another moneymaking scam, and huge portions of the population, including many on this site, are still dumb enough to believe them.
Now now......let's not hear anymore talk about pipelines......they're tooooooooooo dangerous!
"It was the Koch Bros that wanted the pipeline."
Yeah but just think what 'red meat' a pipeline might be to scary bible & gun totin' "domestic terrorists" in flyover country.
I live in Flyover Country.....that crap is real.
Collateral damage in the business world.
Saudi terrorists.
It's the usual binary thinking: either you accept the rail cars burning your town down, or you accept that gov will wreck a whole bunch of peoples' lands (and 'the environment') to build their fucking pipeline.
... When in fact the majority of this oil is wasted by the military (for war crimes), with much of the rest going to feed and promote obsessive-compulsive materialism by deranged consumers, all obviously by design as well.
Anyhow, enjoy your daily dose of manufactured consent!

Im sure this spate of rail car fires has nothing to do with ginning up support for Keystone XL. Nothing to see here!
And nothing to do with greenie misanthropes, it's just the excessive cold and ice from global warming clogging up the tracks and making the iron more brittle.
Seems finally the pipeline guys are using their muscle.
Look foward to many more until they get approval.
Just biz, nothing personal.
Awww, c'mon church, that is Warren wanting his insurance payout NOW!!
Same principle, or lack thereof.
Its not just govt. that has black ops teams.
It's about PV-10 -----the "price" and date. Big oil transportation/storage (Buffet) is a criminal IMHO--
the oil has to be transported from point 1 to point 2. if it is in a pipeline, or on a railtrack in containers, it remains equally easy to destroy it. explain to me the difference. explain to me the environmental difference. that pipelines are safer? cheaper? either can be destroyed, just as easily. the difference please?
I am an "environmentalist" and care a lot about other things besides money.
And let's not even start to talk about those titanic explosions at the solar power plant ... and when a windmill blows up ...
I bet there will be some huge insurance pay outs ...who will end up with the bill?
...all of us...we ARE the Law of Large Numbers after all...
"...who will end up with the bill?"
Uncle Warren...how richly ironic
As storage fills, the Jewish stock takes will increase.
If you can't sell it burn it.
That's right Four chan, big oil deliberately sets refineries on fire and causes train derailments.
Holy fuck.
I can actually feel myself getting stupider the more I read the comments section of ZH articles.
Right?
I mean, who woud deliberately set fire to something they just happened to be losing money on to collect a huge insurance payout on an over valued piece of property? Al Capone is turning over laughing in his grave right now at the thought of such a ridiculous idea.
Or, it could be the planet is actually expanding...
Yeah, too many clueless morons on ZH who hate people who voluntarily work for companies and hate companies who voluntarily employ people at reasonable wages.
Big Government makes more PROFIT (Arrgggghhhh!!!!) on each gallon of gas than Big Oil. And Big Government doesn't do anything in the production of said gas other than make it more expensive to produce. Going so far as to deny the implementation of a safe transportation method for political gain (see train accidents/fires and year after year pipeline denial for proof).
"Arrrrghhhhh!!!! Big Oil!!!! They employ people and manufacture products that we insist on having, providing said products to the (somewhat) free market. Ugggggghhhhh!!!! Terrible that people would make good money and voluntarily work for them. Arrrrggghhh!!! Where's my EBT card? Work sux!!! I deserve your money because I'm special. I got gold stars on my grade school homework."
Morons.
Big Government funds the military industrial complex to secure access to and assure the transportation of oil + gas.
Yeah, the U.S. has used its "military industrial complex" in a lot of wars with Canada and within the U.S. over oil. Good point...
You might want to get out of the house a bit more.
The real world, and how it actually works, might just penetrate those rose tinted blinkers of yours.
Then again,probably not.
Bah,bah.
The real world. Right.
In the real world, one should refrain from attributing to conspiracy that which can more easily be explained by incompetence or happenstance.

I got this fucking thorn in my side
Oh my God, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all, it's a sabotage"

"In a television interview, the legendary investor and Berkshire Hathaway CEO said that President Obama’s Keystone oil pipeline veto was a mistake. "
You could say that about every decision that guy has made.
Surely you can't be referring to the first wookie.

Calm, you FORGOT your sarcasm tag, people will take you seriously, bwahahahaaaa!
Warren Buffet is a snake in the grass all right, fucking croney he is, shill for the Islamo-Fascist in the WH!
If we could only send Obama .... down a tube !
plenty of 'tube steaks', I'm sure, have gone the other way.
Gold, dig it up and store it. Useless rocks right? So what's it say when we dig up fossil fuels, ruin everything alive nearby, then ignite it in the middle of the woods?
Ruin everything nearby? I would gladly take you to some old fossil fuel producing areas I hike and you would think you were in Shan-Gri-La.
Smells like victory.
Xibalba...ugh, you are a clueless enviro-whore, step off the planet, you obviously don't want to live!
Warren Buffett now claims that as president even he would have long since approved Keystone. No word on whether he came to that opinion before or after Lac-Mégantic.
You believe something Warren Buffet said? How cute.
Becky wouldn't get in the bathtub with him until she got her way on the issue.
has he spent these couple of years to acquire some of the land that a pipeline might go through? i don't know, honest question.
We all know there is absolutely no chance of sabotage.
no worries...just old fashioned incompetence..a perfect "track record", we've been averaging one major derailment per week since mid Feb in Northern Ontario...the others weren't newsworthy because they didn't catch fire, the ground and water was too frozen to be penetrated by unignited spills...
It was Mossad. And HAARP. And W.
This is happening with a regularity that makes me wonder....
was a nail gun involved?
The mainstream opinion is that Ayn Rand is a simplistic highschool style fairytale to be ignored.
But damned if all these accidents don't look a lot like how she described the collapse of a functioning economy would look...
Atlas is shrugging. People don't trust the system anymore, and they are ceasing to care. When people lose their motivation for life, they behave carelessly. Accidents happen. The USSR did this, too. Hardly the first time in history to see a people cease to be motivated enough to be able to maintain the infrastructure on which modern society depends.
Bottom line, these accidents are now frequent enough so as no longer to appear random. They are connecting into a picture of a more general breakdown. You can't treat a population like cattle and not expect them to start behaving like cattle. And cattle are not sufficiently skilled to run freight trains safely...
Everyone is loosing interest in the system including supplying more slave's for the system.
Oh, the web they weave when they at first deceive!
Let the Obomination in the WH veto the Keystone, so his stooge Buffet, can make his millions and slap cash in the Demoncrat hand!
Nothing like the smell of acrid hypocricy in morning!
Progressivism is the SCOURGE of the WORLD! The EPA, DEA, DOJ, FBI, NSA, DOE, etc, etc are the tyrants army built to control the masses! Financed by backroom deals and executive and financial fiat.
A day of reckoning LOOMS!
I bet Buffet's insurance company covers trains and contrary to perception, insurance companies like catastrophes. They are good for the bottom line because their payouts are dwarfed by the increase in premiums.
The actuaries are all smiling.
Indeed, ain't that the truth!!!
The Law of LArge Numbers at work here. The bigger the pool the bigger the windfall...
Starting to wonder if these derailments are by design in an effort to push prices up.
Or maybe a way to burn it rather than store the glut of oil. What a marvel idea! /sarc
Terrorists.
Starting to look suspicious. If it is Muslim Terrorists, Obama will do nothing. DHS is clueless and doing nothing with their color coded alerts, so we can rule them out. If Buffet starts squawking, it is some kind of insurance scam he is running--Probably mostly empty rail cars. If some oil lobbiest shows up on TV saying we need the keystone pipleine becasue it is safer, find out who is paying him. And of course, there is always all of the above. One thing is certain, it is about money.
On a long enough timeline it cannot be about money. You cant take it with you to the afterlife. Let us think about that next time some speaks about one of those conspiracies that take centuries to unravel and how they are all "about money" and not about something completely different.
power and control is the key Ben...money is the by product...shhshhh do say that here though...it's all about the Jews ya know, lol
They did away with the color coded alerts publicly a while back, now they just say, we are watching us closely:
Christians
Constitutionalists
Gun owners
Conservatives
Libertarians
Small Govt people
Fiscal conservatives (balanced budgets)
People who don't like Obamao!
Ain't life swell.
I am the government and I am here to help! (the 10 most dreaded words you will hear)...
Government is not the solution it is the problem = EVERYWHERE and in EVERY COUNTRY!
If there was evidence that these incidents are the results of sabotage ... would that information be made public?
bwahahahahaahhhaaaarg....are you kidding, please tell me that was sarcasm, or are you that naive?
Naive, I guess.
What do you think is going on?
accidents happen too, rail lines buckle due to freeze thaw...it could be sabotage, but if so don't expect there to be an announcement about it, that is what I was referring to..
all the conspiracy theorists here will tell you they know for sure...LOL. I won't do that to you...you seem genuine enough!
Anyone else find it odd these rail cars filled with oil are 'derailing' in the midsts of a severe oil glut?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Insurance check please!
It USED to be a big deal when ANY train derailed.
Conrail had their own police, who could pop a cap in your ass if you messed with the tracks.
Either they ignore the problems of sabotage, or they have deteriorating rail beds, or they want these derailments to advance some political (financial) agenda.
Bought my beautiful wife a 22K 7" gold bracelet today, .27 total gold weight. $438.
Two birds, one archaic rock. Everyone is happy.
Cheapass.
438 federal reserve notes for a beautiful wife?
If you really want to make her happy, just give her a three hour backscratch.
Sparklies have always worked for me. Watch Shindler's List; there may come a time when we all need portable wealth.
Keystone Pipeline terrorist are hard at work!!!
I have friends that worked for CN in Western Canada, some up until recently. Trust me when I say this, there's reasons why raiilroaders don't last long on the job. Safety and employee concerns are not rated as high as over all profits. From what they've said and implied, it's more cost effective to the company bottom line - to clean accidents up rather than prevent them.
I guess the groups fighting that Canadian pipeline must have a vendetta against the environment.
how to put pipeline project on the agenda? blow up some trains :)
They don't make trains like they used to, that's for certain.
No coincidence that these oil freight train accidents (of sabotage) are in the limelight again now that Keystone was vetoed by Obama.
The late 70s tune "Burn, baby, burn! Disco inferno." comes to mind.
The line in the song that still cracks me up is "The heat was hot". LOL. Gee, what else would it be?
Koyaanisqatsi bitchez
I guess it's build the pipeline or else.
