Train Carrying Canadian Oil Spills in Western Minnesota

Reuters reported that a train hauling Canadian oil derailed in western Minnesota on Wednesday, spilling 30,000 gallons of crude.

As quoted in the market news:

The major spill, the first since the start of a boom in North American crude-by-rail transport three years ago, came when 14 cars on a 94-car Canadian Pacific train left the tracks about 150 miles northwest of Minneapolis near the town of Parkers Prairie, the Otter Tail Sheriff’s Department said.
