Original Toronto Star caption: 10 tons of beef spilled. Wreckage litters ravine after three flatcars carrying trucks loaded with beef jumped CN tracks just east of Don Valley Parkway north of O'Connor Dr. yesterday. There were no injuries. Within minutes; dozens of children from nearby apartment buildings were helping themselves to some of 10 tons of meat spilled from the wreckage. When police arrived; some youngsters threw meat into the Don River. Cars derailed as Toronto-bound freight rounded a curve.
