Lac-Megantics: Diane Clusiault

Diane Clusiault: It was a ritual, said Diane Clusiault, who grew up by a section of Lac-Megantics railway, just a couple of hundred metres from the heart of her town, according to 660 News. Clusiaults view of the century-old tracks along with those of many Meganticois were forever changed a little over a week ago, when a runaway train carrying crude oil screamed past her house and smashed through downtown and LAC-MEGANTIC, Like so many kids raised near railroads, youngsters in this Quebec town would count train wagons as they rumbled by and got a kick out watching the wheels flatten pennies they had placed on the tracks. We were never scared of the train. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
