A bankruptcy trustee looking to recover money for those affected by a deadly 2013 train derailment has turned his attention to more than a dozen companies that may have played a role in the accident, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. In court filings on Thursday, Robert Keach, the trustee for train operator Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway Ltd., said that he is seeking information from energy companies Shell Oil Co., ConocoPhillips, InCorr Energy Group and Enserco Energy Inc. to help him determine whether he can pursue legal action against the companies. Keach said that the four filings are "the tip of the iceberg" and that he is speaking with close to 20 companies that either leased tank cars to MM&A or produced the oil being transported.
