Derailed train cars burn in Plaster Rock, N.B., Wednesday. A CN freight train carrying crude oil and propane derailed Tuesday night in a sparsely populated
region of northwestern New Brunswick, leading to the evacuation of 150 people. It’s at least the third such serious incident on North American rails since
last July’s deadly derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Que., that claimed 47 lives. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, speaking to reporters in Inuvik, N.W.T., Wednesday,
defended his government’s record on rail safety, saying the government has “vastly” increased rail safety and rail inspections. TOM BATEMAN/THE CANADIAN PRESS
