lew Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 I saw that too and was amazed that all those rail cars could jump the tracks and overturn, yet none of the 4 crew members were even hurt.
ccmtcanada Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 Wow!! I am working from home today because of the nasty weather coming. If I had meetings at the office, I was going to take the GO Train. Glad I didn't cause I'd be stranded downtown and I wouldn't want my wife driving out to get me in freezing rain.
ecmilley Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 it'll be a fun drive home for sure, but shawn did you at least get your loonie flattened out on the track?
fishdawg Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 is this gonna qualify for someone to use this as an excuse for gas price increase?
ccmtcanada Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 is this gonna qualify for someone to use this as an excuse for gas price increase? There was diesel fuel in at least one of the derailed cars....so....restricted supply??? ACK!
irishfield Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) Probably Mark. Just got my oil tank filled for the furnace...not impressed at 84.9 a litre for furnace oil. Edited March 1, 2007 by irishfield

GNODDY Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Wife works in TO and takes the GO she emails me today while I am working from home and gives me the news that I will have to pick her up in Pickering. So off I go at 3:45 well I finally got home at 7:00 and I was only going from Oshawa to Pickering and back. Watch it out there the roads are pretty slick. Gnoddy
