The locomotive of a cargo train derailed in northern Colorado early Wednesday, spilling hundreds of gallons of diesel, authorities said.
The Great Western Railway locomotive did not tip over when it went off the rails at a switch in the tracks just before 1 a.m. but a fuel tank was punctured, the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority said in a Facebook post. The spill was contained and did not get into any waterways, it said.
No one was injured in the derailment, which happened near a sugar factory in an area not far from some homes, Battalion Chief Kevin Hessler said. The other locomotive and three cars carrying sugar did not derail, he said.
What a false dichotomy. You can be thankful things weren’t worse, AND be pissed off it happened at all. Two things can exist at the same time it happens every day!
Right, but the OP of this thread is offering meaningless platitudes in the face of an actual problem.
They’re offering a bit of hope to people, that it isn’t as bad as other recent incidents. And that’s true. OP also probably doesn’t HAVE any meaningful solutions, they’re probably about 40 steps removed from anything that could impact this. May as well let people know it’s not another MASSIVE spill.
You’re a goon and a shill.
And you’re an ignoramus and buffoon, I can do that too. Got an actual rebuttal, or just wanna prove yourself as dense as you seem to be?
I’d rather have somebody pretend to perceive me as an “ignoramus and buffoon” than to make people feel grateful for an oil spill.
Who’s pretending anything here? And who’s grateful for a spill? Certainly not me, are these people here with us?
It’s like you read one word, and make the rest of the argument up.
