Is this Obama’s buddies train? BNSF?
Warren Buffet does not want any sinking pipelines!

After viewing photos of the town center, I fear a good number of the missing 60 are incinerated.

Holy carp! An “unmanned” train? Carrying oil?

I hate myself for thinking his way, but a story like this and I find myself looking for Mid-Eastern names.

I've been to Quebec City (Old Quebec) and it's like you just entered old time France (been there, too). The buildings are old and beautiful and it's built on a hill with some buildings up and some down, go down and up stairs or a gizmo that moves you from up to down. I have a plate from there on my wall of plates and a beautiful cup and saucer with Quebec facts on it, cup/saucer is cream and gold - beautiful pieces.
If this train had to do that, I'm glad it didn't happen to Quebec City. We traveled by train from Montreal to Quebec City. The train station is right in the middle of Quebec City. Perhaps a freight train doesn't take that route through Quebec City, or maybe it does - train track is train track.

Can they thank The Obammunist for this because he refuses to build the XL pipeline?

“Parts of the town were evacuated in the early hours as fireballs shot several-metres in the air”
Wow, isn’t that about six feet?

The train was MMA but the string of sweet crude cars was likely coming from NDakota headed to a refinery in Atlantic Canada.
I found one guy who claims that the (unattended) train was on fire an hour before the 73 tank cars hit town going faster than the track curvature was rated.

I didn’t know crude oil could explode like that. I would have thought it was liquid natural gas.

Yes, the MMA website says that they “link” with, I think, 7 “major” rail companies so it looks like BNSF could still be involved.
Horrible tragedy, but lets not let this go to waste if we can blame it on libs!

Several meters meaning more than a couple but less than many would be a minimum of 10 feet.

and Vermont in the US, as well as in Quebec and New Brunswick in
