Main-track train derailment, Canadian National Railway Company, freight train U70451-02, mile 88.75, Ruel subdivision, Gogama, Ontario, 07 March 2015 . : TU3-6/15-0021E-PDF

"On 07 March 2015, at 0242 Eastern Standard Time, Canadian National Railway Company (CN) crude oil unit train U70451-02 was proceeding eastward at about 43 mph on CN's Ruel Subdivision when it experienced a train-initiated emergency brake application at mile 88.70, near Gogama, Ontario. A subsequent inspection determined that the 6th to the 44th cars (39 cars in total) had derailed. As a result of the derailment, about 2.6 million litres of petroleum crude oil (UN1267) was released to atmosphere, water, or surface. The released product ignited and caused explosions, and some product entered the nearby Makami River. A CN bridge over the Makami River (at mile 88.70) and about 1000 feet of track were destroyed. There was no evacuation, and there were no injuries."--Summary.
