CNR Train Derailment Near Rivers Recalled in History
John Jordens recalls a 50 year old CNR derailment west of Rivers when a Edmonton to Winnipeg passenger train left the rails on June 22. The engine and three cars derailed to the dirt, a wrecking crew rebuilt the track and traffic resumed later that day with no injuries among about 20 passengers.
