Yes, I work for the local comuter railroad in Chicago, Metra. It was a CN freight that derailed going across a diamond.

laugh it up boys. Ignorance only gets you so far. 40% of BP Oil is owned by American's.

You guys love making fun of other's but can't take it the other way around. Nothing against out brothers and sisters to the south... just stating the obvious. I was just responding to a Canadian joke with an American joke. Im pretty sure Falcon meant it as a joke.

Anyways, glad your ok OP and hopefully you weren't too close or anything when it happened.

1) While certainly a multinational company without a decided single owner, the largest single nationality of beneficial owners of BP are British. If calling it British is wrong, then calling it American is ever more wrong.
2) I'm not American.

Lighten up, broski. And I cant find it now because I dont remember what YouTube vid I saw it on but someone repeated the "unoffical" CN motto, something like:

Slow uphill, fast downhill, and safety doesnt matter.
