<p>Green groups are claiming victory in their protest against the transportation of cyanide by rail, despite failing in their bid to stop a train in northern New South Wales last night (Thursday, March 22).</p> <p>Nimbin-based Cyanide Watch had told local media that it would block the Pacific National train at Kyogle, 190 km into the train’s 950-km journey to Sydney, when it moved through the Richmond Valley at 8 pm.</p> <p>The group – which organised the protest to coincide with the UN’s World Day for Water – said the cyanide would pose a threat to local water supplies should the train be involved in an accident.</p> <p>About 20 police lined the rail tracks to prevent up to 50 protesters from accessing the train, which slowed but did not stop.</p> <p>The protesters had intended to use distress flares, as part of a peaceful protest, to ensure the driver knew that they would be blocking the track.</p> <br />
