State authorities in Maine have hit Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. with a violation notice over fallout from its cleanup efforts after a freight train went off the tracks last month.
Officials sent a notice of violation to the railway after heavy construction equipment deployed to access the crash site caused a"significant amount of sediment" to enter local waters in violation of a pollution control law, according to Maine's Department of Environmental Protection.
On April 15 a Canadian Pacific Kansas City train hit a track washout in a wooded area near Moosehead Lake in northwestern Maine, some 220 kilometres southeast of Quebec City, setting several cars ablaze. Three crew members were taken to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and released the same day, the railway said.
"CPKC is committed to the restoration of the derailment area and full cleanup of the affected environment. CPKC crews are on the ground working in full co-operation with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, and other agencies, as we have since the derailment occurred."
