Esri Canada today released this story map that shows the drastic change to the town of Lac-Mégantic’s landscape as the result of the train derailment that occurred on July 6, 2013. The map also shows the path of the runaway Montréal, Maine & Atlantic Railway train – from Nantes, Québec where it was parked, to where it started to roll downhill to downtown Lac-Mégantic where it exploded and then ended up a few kilometres away. Zoom out to see these 4 points on the map.
