Taber Reopens Rail Line After Derailment As Cause Remains Unclear
CP Rail spokesman Breanne Feigel said the cause may take weeks or months to determine with the Transportation Safety Board. Trains were back running through Taber by 3 p.m. Wednesday as cleanup, car removal, and track repairs were completed with help from a U.S. remediation firm. Town emergency services coordinated quickly with CP Rail and local businesses, while officials warned of potential toxic spill scenarios and outlined emergency plans including evacuations and sheltering if needed. Emergency operations would mobilize police, fire, and provincial assistance to manage a worst case.
