Well, that actually was a boiler explosion. The difference was in the construction of the locomotive (as I recall that particular steam locomotive was CP or CN) so that when the boiler explosion occured, it was onloy a matter of the crown sheet giving away, which is far less serious than most US-built steam locomotives, where pieces of steam locomotive, train crew and passengers would be spread for more than a half-mile over the countryside. I guess it is all a matter of how you define the word "explosion," but for all practical purposes, that is what occured.
