first CNR rail accident on Rossburn subdivision era
A retrospective note recalls the May 7 1908 CN rail accident two miles east of Oakburn when rails spread and cars derailed on the Rossburn subdivision, an era when the line belonged to the Canadian Northern Railway. It contrasts abandoned lines with past rail growth and diesel era milestones.
