Canada train blast: Lac-Megantic rail firm sanctioned
Canada has suspended the operating licence of the rail firm involved in last month's Quebec fuel train disaster, officials say.
The Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) says the company did not have enough third-party liability insurance.
The CTA's order covers both Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway (MM&A) and its Canadian subsidiary.
Some 47 people were killed in Lac-Megantic after a train carrying crude oil derailed and exploded in the town.
