Seems to me that the area this happened is pretty straight track. Is something like this, suspicious considering the world is already in a situation where fertilizer is already in short demand??

Well how about that. MORE fertilizer problems. What awful luck in the middle of massive shortages and inflation. The timing is just awful and I'm sure it is a random incident and surely a contingency plan has already been enacted as most large corporations tend to to do risk analysis and recovery SOPs.

Natural gas shortages have Europe's fertilizer reserves WAY down ( to 30%) so it can't even be imported from Europe.

I remember the pictures and stories about the USSR having people standing in line all day for bread only to reach an empty shelf or be turned away.

Never did I imagine the greatest nation in the world would be nearing such a future.

It is time to march every career politician out of DC in shackles.

Looks like the train was travelling in the opposite direction from the direction of travel of the car that shot the vid. A picture in this link: CP Alberta Train derailment shows un-derailed cars in front of it, so it is not a result of running into anything. The derailed cars were loaded and CP most likely had that as a "unit train", i.e. one set of equipment that cycles between an origin and a destination and all cars carry the same stuff so I don't think train handling was an issue. Probably either a track defect or a mechanical defect on one of the cars.
