Three significant derailments of CP trains in three days has renewed concerns about the safety of railway workers just a month after a horrific crash outside Field, B.C., killed three employees.
“Workers are telling us the trains are becoming harder to control in cold weather,” Monette said, particularly for locomotives operating in especially frigid conditions and difficult terrain through the mountain passes. The most recent string of derailments began last Thursday, when a freight train hauling grain and empty automobile carriers left the tracks just west of the Banff townsite at Mile 87 of the Laggan subdivision, some 70 kilometres from the deadly crash near Field on Feb. 4 that killed conductor Dylan Paradis, engineer Andrew Dockrell and trainee Daniel Waldenberger-Bulmer, all from Calgary.
“Prolonged extreme-cold weather across much of CP’s service area continues to be a challenge. As set out in CP’s Winter Operating Plan, CP makes operational adjustments to address extreme-cold temperatures,” she said.
