Olympia, WA: Train Tracks Sabotaged To Stop Fracking Equipment [April 21st, 2017]

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.

Here is from the AP Twitter

“Early signs indicate an Amtrak train taking its first trip on a new faster route in Washington state may have hit something before derailing and killing passengers, an official told @AP.”

Surely he knows something about this.

Interesting. I just tried again and got there. Then I reloaded the page and it’s still there. Perhaps the site is hosted on more than one server...regionally distributed.
