that area seems to be bad for derailments - wonder what it is about it?

The googles tell me Canpotex is a potash exporter, and that potash is orange, so that appears to be potash spilling over the pristine Alberta prairies.
Thank you, Saskatchewan.

You have the googles too! I don't think it's hazardous, but if it is, they won't let you drive by it anyway.

Any time I hear the name Wetaskiwin, I hear that damn jingle.... I'll be 90 years old, with dementia, in an old folks home, and it will still trigger the same response.

Another CP fail to the list, that makes 4 derailments in the last 3 weeks alone. As always glad it wasn't holding any special dangerous cars.

Perhaps we need to change this thread title to "The Ongoing Train De-railment Thread."?

Not hazardous. It's just fertilizer. I would grab some for my lawn. It helps with root growth.

Not all veggies like it , but i tell you that you will get the most tasty carrots using it as well as the sweet peas !! Mix that in with your soil before you plant them ! but tomatoes and potatoes not so much!
