BillM Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 A truck overturned by accident and you hope there is a hefty fine?How about you hope the driver is okay and makes it home to his family? I am sure if there was a death or even a severe injury it would have been mentioned in the article. And yeah I think there should be a fine if the driver was in anyway careless..

Dano Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Probably a drop in the bucket compared to what is leaching out of undersized, non maintained and yes, even non existant cottage septic beds, septic tanks and holding tanks in the area, never mind outhouses.

Almontefisher Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Dano is exactly right!Still a brown trout run in the fall shouldnt look like that! Just think though you would have your trout and corn dinner to boot This is not as bad as what has happened to the river here in Ottawa over the last few years...try at least 10 times that much has spilled in the river from our city sewage plants. The carp are happy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLofchik Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Wasn't there another derailment lower down last month? Jeebus, how bad are the tracks around there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) Wasn't there another derailment lower down last month? Jeebus, how bad are the tracks around there? Actually the report says it was a "TRUCK" that was involved not a rail car. As far as the railroad (30 year retired railroader) crap happens.
