WASHINGTON - The mayor of tragedy-stricken Lac-Megantic, Que., was in the
U.S. capital Tuesday pushing for regulatory changes in rail
transportation.
.
Colette Roy Laroche says she doesn't want other towns to suffer the same
fate as hers.
.
She will tell a congressional panel about the train derailment and
explosion that killed 47 people and destroyed her town centre last summer.
.
"This accident could have happened anywhere," she told a news conference
before heading to Capitol Hill.
.
"We need to act now - before it's too late for other communities, other
people, other grandparents, other parents, other brothers, other sisters,
and other children."
.
She's in Washington with a group of mayors of towns situated along rail
lines.
.
They've already met with the Obama administration and asked it to go
farther, faster in forcing upgrades to the trains used to transport oil.
.
Now they'll ask Congress to consider regulatory changes that would create
more scrutiny for small rail lines, but also easier access to liability
funds in the case of disaster.
.
They also want their first-responders to have more information about the
cargo passing through their towns, unlike the case of Lac-Megantic where
it's only just become clear how flammable its Bakken crude-oil cargo was.
.
The mayor of Barrington, Ill., says she's been involved in the issue since
a fiery crash of ethanol cargo killed a woman in her area. She failed to
get any action and the Lac-Megantic disaster hit home.
