A North Dakota town was evacuated Wednesday following the derailment of a train carrying crude oil. About 40 residents were force to leave Heimdal as emergency crews responded to the fire. It was at least the sixth accident this year involving so-called “bomb trains” transporting crude oil through North American communities. It comes just days after federal regulators released long-awaited new standards for the trains, which environmentalists have criticized as insufficient.
