Significant amount of oil believed to have burned off, spokesperson says
The Saskatchewan government says an estimated 1.2 million litres of oil leaked from a Canadian Pacific Railway train that derailed near the hamlet of Guernsey last week.
That’s less than the estimated 1.5 million litres that is believed to have leaked in a separate train derailment, also near Guernsey, last December.
But it’s still five times the amount of oil spilled during the 2016 Husky Energy pipeline disaster near Maidstone, Sask.
