\u00a0CASSELTON, N.D. (AP) – BNSF Railway has opened a claims center for residents of Casselton after the derailment of a crude-oil carrying train about a mile from the southeastern North Dakota town.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No one was hurt in the Monday derailment, but about two-thirds of the town’s 2,400 residents temporarily evacuated.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Steve Hedlin was among the first in line when the claims center opened Thursday morning at a hotel in Casselton. Hedlin says he left town with his father, girlfriend and her three children after the derailment.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hedlin says he intends to file a claim for about $200 to cover the cost of a hotel and food in Fargo and for the gas it took to get there and back.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BNSF spokeswoman Amy McBeth says the railroad was processing about nine claims per hour Thursday.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Casselton Mayor Ed McConnell says he suspects several business owners and individuals will file claims.<\/p>\n

BNSF says one of the lines reopened at 3 a.m. Thursday and the second about 15 minutes later.<\/p>\n

\u00a0McBeth says trains have been operating on the route since then without incident.<\/p>\n

Traffic was rerouted on other lines while cleanup and repair work was done, but BNSF says some shipments moving through the corridor might be delayed up to 36 hours.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The National Transportation Safety Board says a\u00a0\u00a0preliminary analysis shows that the grain train was traveling 28 mph before derailing while using emergency brakes.\u00a0 The oil train was going 42 mph when it hit the derailed grain train car on it\u2019s track.\u00a0 Board member Robert Sumwalt says\u00a0 investigators were able to look at video from the end of one of the locomotives.<\/p>\n

A broken axle has been found and will be studied to see if it played a role in the derailment and crash on Monday. Sumwalt says it\u2019s still the early stages of the investigation.<\/p>\n

Federal Railroad Administration data shows that Cass County \u00a0led North Dakota with 30 train derailments from January 2000 through October 2013, and nearly half of the county\u2019s 37 overall train accidents were caused by track defects.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) – Following a string of explosive accidents, federal officials say crude oil being shipped by rail from the Northern Plains across the U.S. and Canada may be more flammable than traditional forms of oil. The U.S. Department of Transportation issued a safety alert Thursday. It warns the public, emergency responders and shippers about the high explosive potential of crude being shipped from the Bakken oil shale patch in Montana and North Dakota. The warning comes in the aftermath of the massive explosion caused by Monday’s oil train derailment near Casselton, N.D.<\/p>\n

(CSi) Troopers with the North Dakota Highway Patrol responded to 209 crashes from December 1st<\/sup>-31st<\/sup>, 2013 in the Southeast Region of the NDHP. The Southeast Region encompasses the following fifteen counties: Traill, Cass, Richland, Steele, Barnes, Ransom, Sargent, Griggs, Stutsman, LaMoure, Dickey, Eddy, Foster, Logan and McIntosh Counties. Of the 209 crashes, 178 were property damage only and 31 were injury crashes. Luckily, no fatal crashes occurred.<\/p>\n

Over the last five years, the NDHP has averaged 110 crashes investigated in the month of December within the Southeast Region. December 2013 was an abnormally busy month compared to other years.<\/p>\n

147 of the 209 crashes occurred in Cass County, with 126 crashes occurring in the Fargo metro area on I94 between Exit 343 and the Red River Bridge and I29 between Exit 60 and Exit 69.<\/p>\n

Motorists continue to drive too fast for conditions, accelerate too quickly while merging into traffic, follow too close, utilize their cruise control and speed on the icy road conditions.<\/p>\n

We urge motorists to slow down, take the cruise control off, increase their following distances, safely merge into traffic, and to wear their seat belt. Motorits should always be prepared for changing road conditions, especially during out winter months and to utilize the NDDOT Travel Information Map or to call 511 before leaving on a trip.<\/p>\n
