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.
