At least 10 cars of yet another oil train are aflame, this time in North
Dakota, after a derailment that caused the evacuation of a small town.
.
Of the 109 cars on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway train,
107 were carrying Bakken crude, the Associated Press reported. Two were
buffer cars loaded with sand that rode between the tankers and the engine.
It was one of at least two dozen such accidents and fires in the U.S. and
Canada since 2006, the AP said, citing federal records it had reviewed.
This was the fifth derailment in 2015, AP said. The practice of
transporting crude from the Bakken oil fields, whose bitumen is more
volatile than normal crude, by train has been growing drastically, as have
the number of accidents. The two to three dozen residents of the town of
Heimdal, about 115 miles northeast of Bismarck, was evacuated.
.
Quinault Indian Nation President Fawn Sharp has been outspoken about the
danger of oil trains and taken a stand against this type of transport, and
the tribe wasted no time highlighting the dangers anew.
.
This was just the latest in a series of oil train derailments that have
resulted in crashes, followed by explosions, mountains of thick, black,
toxic smoke and inevitable spills of poisonous oil that at some point make
their always way into water systems, streams, rivers or marine waters,
Sharp said in a statement on May 6. Let there be no doubt. These trains
are dangerous, and we are seeing more and more of them on our tracks all
the time.
