Tumbler Ridge- A CN locomotive pulling a coal train slammed into an avalanche early today near Tumbler Ridge without incident.
The locomotive ran into the snow slide which had covered the tracks just after 1.00am. Today.
There were no injuries and none of the cars left the track.
The area in question has been facing a snow pack that is 170% of normal.

So this is newsworthy because??????……
…. they had to get you away from playing with your doll’s somehow!
10,000 clowns out of work and Dragonboy wants to be a fool!
Interesting to me.
Denaljo, these are very serious conditions out there for these folks that are running trains, expecially this time of year. I like to know about it. Train tragedies are serious things and should be addressed in the news. These people have families and bills to pay like the rest of us. Glad no one was hurt and no cars on the ground.
Although we haven’t had a lot of snow in town or out on the highways this year… sure is a lot up in the hills North East of town… snow radar has shown snow there almost every night now for 3-4 months. How it melts will be interesting.
Whaaaaaaaaa Denaljo Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa LOL!
It would have made an interesting picture. 250’s Journalists need to get out and take more pics to go along with the stories. Especially when they are close home. I agree Eagle, when the snow pack melts it will be interesting. You are right Willyj, those trains haul some pretty dangerous goods. Very serious for all.
