CP Rail Train removal from Kootenay Lake - TMTV Video

TMTV News Nelson BC Canada - Removing the locomotives from Kootenay Lake months after the crash. Two Cranbrook BC men were killed after a Canadian Pacific Railway train derailed, plunged off a 38-meter cliff and burst into flames into Kootenay Lake. Both men died when the 49-car freight train crashed into a three-meter-high rock slide, about 40 kilometres east of Nelson British Columbia. Produced by Teamwork Media Television (TMTV). From the Vault 1995.

They do make ...
They do make rockslide sheds..not sure why they don't have them here(lots of? slide fences in bad areas already)...although I heard this was a freak accident. I know now that they send a highrail truck before a train heads out,on rock patrol...

speaking of ...
speaking of ignorance? how exactly does one build "a shed" strong enough to withstand the force of a thousand pound rock falling from 500 lb. in the air? Maybe next time you'll smarten up and suggest they put netting over the tracks, durrrr!!!

The CP investigated the incident? and concluded that both dead men were to blame...as usual.

how long after the crash were they able to do body? recovery?

Same, condolences ...
Same, condolences to the 2 whom passed on. Myself an engineer with a? stint on CP Chapleau and Lethbridge have seen some incidents in my travels. Tomorrow I run and always set a brake going over trestle at MP49.5 Webwood Sub because the approach is a blind curve and I need to always see that the ole girl has it in her to take me and 5000+ tons of steel over her another day.

they should have ...
they should have built a shed to prevent this from happening then the rocks wouldnt go on the rails ...many things could of been done to prevent this from happening again man dies from other mans ignorants boy I HATE? that !!!!!!!!!!

A rock slide will ...
A rock slide will displace the rails, breaking the circuit and triggering an alarm. But like everything, this is not perfect, so we have a train? wreck. And, what did the people in the train die from? most likely trauma. A person in an automobile who plunges to this distance would also have suffered great injury.

Will they construct ...
Will they construct a fence to signal if a rock slide? From what did the locomotive crew members? die?

Nice production. ...
Nice production. Seems like a? 4 camera shoot!

how many engines were there 2? or 3

What's really ...
What's really sickening here, is to look at that cliff. Wow, that was a huge drop to fall from, and then to sink below the water, "How Brutal". In the "mountains" High-rails, or even the old time Speeders should lead every Train for Safety! The Class One Railroads are Rich! Workers & their Families? are People, not just a dam number! RIP!

that was really sad ...
that was really sad to see them died as they were? working. Very unfortunate. RIP to those who passed and to the family God Bless! My condolences to yous.

I find this to be a ...
I find this to be a quite tragic event. Although it is unfortunate to see wrecked locomotives, it really pains me to know people died in this. I hear? about disasters everyday;people dying here and there. But its stuff like this - the little stuff its what I really think about most sometimes. I just go into detail in my head of how horrible it must of been. BTW the shot of the engine underwater is extremely eerie.

@Peteswidow I offer ...
@Peteswidow I offer my humble condolences to you and your family as well? as the others who suffered loss in this tragedy. As a locomotive engineer myself, I am deeply aware of the dangers that we face on every trip. It is our families for whom we take these risks in order to provide for the ones we love. Like many other railroaders I love our chosen profession. But if it weren't for our families, it would be a selfish endeavor. Your devotion is evident and not wasted. Love is worth the tears.
