Judge Tony Leung has refused to dismiss hundreds of cases filed in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis against the Canadian Pacific Railway related to a derailment that occurred in 2002. A cloud of toxic anhydrous ammonia had enveloped the city of Minot after the derailment there. Canadian Pacific has been forced to admit liability in some of the cases after the Judge said that federally regulated railroads are not exempt from all legal claims.
