PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — CN Rail is dealing with a wreck after two trains collided Saturday on the banks of the Fraser River in Prince George.
RCMP Constable Gary Godwin said it appears one train derailed and collided with a train on an opposing set of tracks.
Fuel is leaking into the Fraser River and thick black smoke from the diesel in one engine is blackening the skies of the city.
Const. Godwin said a lumber car on one of the trains is also burning.

Good job, Susan. What are they doing about the fuel leaking into the river?

The fuel? don'tchya know? if you toss a match at it BEFORE it hits water it burns off. So, there was a fire...do you think there is a company edict...toss a match? or did that fire start due to the accident? and lets not forget the company claims because of the fire there is little or no environmental damage. *rolls eyes*
