Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd. and 3 of its employees
had been charged with criminal negligence in reference to the derailment and
explosion of a teach in Lac-Megantic last year, Quebec’s prosecutor’s office
said.
The railway and the personnel are accused of having induced
the loss of life of 47 humans, Quebec’s director of crook and penal
prosecutions said in a statement published at the government’s internet site
past due remaining night.
On July 6, 2013, a train operated by means of the closely
held Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway rolled downhill into the small city
of Lac-Megantic, came off the tracks and exploded, destroying dozens of homes,
which includes a bar packed with buyers.
The disaster induced regulators inside the U.S. and Canada
to adopt new policies about transporting oil on rail traces, a exercise that
has grown due to will increase in North American oil production and a lack of
pipeline infrastructure.
