Around 745pm 12/20 Q365 derailed 10 cars around 10 from the rear end on the curve between CP Draw and CP2 on track one.
Track two and three are foul, but track three should be back after midnight. The train also had a knuckle 10 cars ahead of the derailed cars. Both rails 'rolled' on track one. Most of the cars are gons loaded with scrap. The WB home signal on track one was wiped out. NO switch damage as it is all west of the switches of Draw and well east of CP 2.

There are 4 wb's east of the derailment as of 10pm.

Just to show how rumors get started. On one of the Canadian crews (CN I believe) reported that this was a 'massive derailment" and it involved "27 cars"!
