Train Derailment
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.
