Olympia, WA: Train Tracks Sabotaged To Stop Fracking Equipment [April 21st, 2017]
Earth First Journal (Left Wing Rag Bragging About Pouring Concrete On Train Tracks ^ | April 21st, 2017 | Puget Sound Anarchists

Early in the morning of April 20th we poured concrete on the train tracks that lead out of the Port of Olympia to block any trains from using the tracks. We took precautions to notify BNSF (the train company) – we called them and we used wires to send a signal that the tracks were blocked. We did this not to avoid damaging a train, nothing would bring bigger grins to our faces, but to avoid the risk of injuring railway workers.

This action was done to disrupt the movement of trains carrying proppants used in natural gas fracturing. These train tracks are part of a system of pipelines, fracking wells, mines, clearcuts, control centers, fiberoptics, dams, highways and factories that cover the planet and are physical manifestations of a process that is destroying the ecosystems, cultures, and inhabitants everywhere. Behind this network of infrastructure there are politicians, CEOs and bureaucrats who have private security, cops, prison guards, non-profit directors, PR consultants and the legacy of 500 years of colonization to back them up. We oppose all of these manifestations, infrastructural, personal and ideological. We blocked the train tracks because we want to blockade the entire web of domination that is slowly killing us.

We were inspired to take this action by acts of resistance taking place across turtle island and the world, particularly the fierce indigenous resistance of water protectors against the Dakota Access Pipe Line, the encampment blocking a train full of fracking material on these same tracks in Olympia this past November, and the clandestine attacks against pipelines in Florida, South Dakota and Iowa.

We also were emboldened by the spirit of all those who have risen against the white supremacist police in Furguson, Baltimore, Oakland and elsewhere, as well as by the

Before the concrete had even hardened, you can bet the railroad had crews out with jackhammers clearing the track.

An empty gesture that will hopefully get some of these deluded, self-impressed slimebags a prison term.

Find those responsible and try them for premeditated murder. Then execute them.

On a train.

You’re right. But in that article they made clear that they’d continue attacking the train line where the derailment happened today.

Either concrete on the tracks or not. Any evidence?
