Barry, if you check out the links in my post on the canyon derailment, both CBC and Global were reporting it in the Fraser Canyon. It was not until someone noted it was north of Lytton that it became clear it was in the Thompson.
Thanks for reading the news reports in the initial post on this and clarifying it here for us.
I wasn’t trying to be critical of you, but the news media, they quite often make mistakes in their reporting. The CBC seems on a bent on reporting CN accidents, Some very minor. This accident ( the BC one) could have just as easily been CP and probably would not have been reported although the pictures were pretty dramatic. I especilly appreciate first hand reports like those from the crew members, thank heavens they were OK.
No problems. It is a big deal here in BC when something bad happens on CN, due I think to the political issues surrounding the BC Rail sale to CN. One of the CN crew members was on the local radio and basicly said it was just one of those things that happens, comes with the job.
Check the Canyon post for some on-the-scene photos [;)]
