Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Tangle of steel: Shattered freight cars are strewn along a tangle of ripped and twisted track after 43 cars of a 90-car train derailed on Tuesday. One container of corrosive chemicals cracked open when it was thrown into nearby Sucker Lake; but a CP Rail official said today the spill was minor and poses no threat. The track is expected to be repaired by Saturday.
