Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway crews faced a hefty cleanup after a freight train derailed in rural Maine on Saturday, setting several cars ablaze.
Locomotives and four derailed lumber cars went up in flames, with crews using booms — absorbent, tube-like barriers — to contain spilled diesel fuel, said CPKC spokeswoman C. Doniele Carlson. At around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, the CPKC train skidded off the tracks due to a washout caused by a clogged culvert under the rail line"because of winter debris, ice and mud," said Jim Britt, spokesman for the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry.
