Richard Piotter General This covered hopper was sadly destroyed in the derailment east of Field, British Columbia, in the early hours of Feb 5th 2019. News reports say the train was parked for a crew change, and is presumed to have started moving on it's own. The train, with a crew of three, lost control down the grade. The front end plummeted into the gorge, with some 30-40 cars piling up behind, after derailing on a curve leading into the Kicking Horse River bridge. Photos of the scene, clearly show this hopper in the pile-up at the track. It can be recognized by both the road number and the graffiti. 2/6/2019 10:46:02 PM
