Toxic Tuesday Anniversary
Today (June 30, 2017) marks the 25th Anniversary of "Toxic Tuesday" when a southbound BN train derailed on the former Soo Line bridge crossing the Nemadji River south of Superior. A tank car carrying benzene ruptured and created a toxic cloud that forced the evacuation of 50,000 people from Duluth-Superior. On June 23 of this year a pair of nice SD75Ms cross the river where the ruptured tank car ended up in channel.
