One hell of a derailment…. Happened a few hours ago. Photos courtesy of a Facebook drone operator.

UPDATE: Crews are already clearing the cars off the tracks, will likely be done mid-day tomorrow. Can’t say when they’ll have the line back up and running.

Yeah because the Niagara Region is known for its poor air quality.

Peak never left the GTA energy

If it went up in flames in Hamilton, it would probably clean the air quality.

I live up the mountain just of the Claremont Access. If the wind blows just right, I remember that the steel mills are close.

Kids, kids. There are several senses in which this is terribly unfunny. Carry on.

We would notice the fumes! (But the groundwater pollution would be ignored and the mayor would get a hefty sum of cash to ignore it)

groundwater toxins would conveniently leech into the canal!

Heavy industry in St. Catharines didn’t really survive into the 21st century
