Ah, now that's the Marine way of taking out competition, fire and movement!

Well, not "fire" in this case, but certainly movement!

OOO-RAH!

That looks to be one of CN's fleet of trucks.

Mischief  Possibly, The Engineer [CPR]  did not have his attention on 'steering' away from the accident?.   The CNR 'unit' was 'blindsided' Bang Head.

The question seems to be, is the accident report filed in French and English?Grumpy

Is the incident in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada?

Surrey is in British Columbia, so English it is.
