 Attached FileBONNERS FERRY, Idaho (AP) - Crews have started containment measures after a train derailed and its lead engine began leaking diesel fuel into a northern Idaho river. Crews have placed containment booms in multiple places across the Kootenai River, officials confirmed. Three locomotives and six rail cars derailed Wednesday in a remote area 10 miles east of Bonners Ferry on the main line, Boundary County sheriff deputies said. Two workers were rescued from inside the train, authorities said. No one was injured. More here |

Someone should tell that train it only works if it’s name is The Polar Express and the lake/river is frozen.
Oh and what the fuck is a foamer? |

That’s supposed to be a big time salmon trout fishery. Even sturgeon in though from what I see
Fish are probably having a worse day but then the flows look pretty high and should dilute the diesel. |

The cause of the derailment is under investigation but it appears there was a rockslide in the area, BNSF Railway Company spokesman Gus Melonas said. The only access to the area is by train or boat, he said.
Forty trains use the track daily including company freights and Amtrak passenger trains traveling between Seattle and Chicago, Melonas said. |
