No injuries were reported after the derailment, which occurred on the same line as the Lac\u002DMégantic disaster.
Around 8:30 a.m. on April 15, a Canadian Pacific Kansas City train hit a track washout in a wooded area near Moosehead Lake in northwestern Maine, about 50 kilometres east of the Quebec border, 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.”
Greg Gormick, who heads On Track Consulting, called the line “a money pit with dubious revenue potential.”
