CN has crews and heavy equipment on site of yesterday’s train derailment  which is about 80 miles north of Prince George George.  (see previous story)

Spokesperson Kelli Svendsen says  bulldozers are on the scene, but  weather conditions are posing  some problems and at this point it is not clear when the main line will reopen.

So far, the closure of that line is not causing any backup of rail traffic.

About 6:00 yesterday morning,  several cars carrying lumber and wood chips jumped the tracks.  Two distributed power locomotives  were also off the track but they remained upright so there was no  deisel spill.   Svendsen  says  there were no injuries, and no envirnmental impact from this derailment.  It is not yet known why the  cars went off the tracks.

So because there was no environmental damage I guess that makes it ok does it CN.

What is it going to take before you get with the program and fix your trains.......
A bus full of dead kids?
It would be so sad that it would have to come to that to get something done.....
You want to hope the govenment steps in and shuts you down pending investigation, or, better yet shut yourself down pending a proper upgrade and fixing of your trains.

We all know that isn't gonna happen....
my opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think maybe some calls to Mr Do NOthing Campbell or one of his mouth pieces might be an idea...
make them earn there salary...or at least overwhelm their secretaries...
Well I just phoned both the MP and MLA....

Nobody in town but was told that I might get a call back in time...

Maybe if we all make that phone call pf concern to your respective Mp and MLA we might , just might get something started to have at least a safety investigation or something going before something happens where there is some damage done...heavens forbid!

What say all?
