REGINA, Saskatchewan — Canadian Pacific workers are cleaning up after a train hauling crude oil derailed and caught fire on Monday.
In a Tuesday statement, a railroad representative confirmed that 34 cars of a train derailed early on Jan. 9.
Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigators are expected to look into to the incident, according to Reuters. The derailment happened east of Saskatoon, Sask. No injuries have been reported, no evacuations were made, though the crude oil continue to burn long after the initial wreck.
The CP main line in that area re-opened on Tuesday.
So is this a future news item (Jan 9) or a late news item?
Regardless of the cause of this derailment, all oil tank cars need bladders that compress per temperature change to fill the inner space to prevent slosh.
