(Reuters) - A BNSF
train carrying crude oil in North Dakota collided with another train on
Monday, setting off a series of explosions that left at least 10 cars
ablaze, the latest in a string of incidents that have raised alarms over
growing oil-by-rail traffic.
Local residents heard five
powerful explosions just a mile outside of the small town of Casselton
after a westbound train carrying soybeans derailed, and an eastbound
104-car train hauling crude oil ran into it just after 2 p.m. CST (2000
GMT), local officials said. There were no reports of any injuries.
