No Injures as Railway Cars Jump Tracks

Three Canadian Pacific Railway cars were de-railed beside Cadogan last Wednesday at 12:40 p.m. with no injuries reported. An engine travelling under 25 miles per hour was pulling 141 cars east at the time. Part of the train still on the track can be seen top right, while one of three cars that skidded—but did not topple over can be seen at top left. Of the estimated one and one half mile long train, only 11 cars carried loads. ©Provost News Photo.
