ALBANY — Anti-fossil fuel activists are sitting on train tracks off Church Street in downtown Albany Saturday to protest oil trains.

They marched to the site, not far from the Port of Albany, after gathering at Lincoln Park to take part in a “Break Free From Fossil Fuels” protest, one of 20 similar demonstration scheduled on six continents and is the major action taking place in the Northeastern United States.

The activists in Albany are calling for an and to the oil trains that are a common sight on the railroads in downtown Albany. The protesters says the trains are a threat to the environment and community safety. Trains bring Bakken crude from North Dakota to Albany, where it is stored and transferred to barges and tankers to continue its trip to East Coast refineries.
