First things first. I am a big fan of M630s Bill and thank you for posting this. Secondly, if this is not the place to pose this question, then, please remove it, or, contact me and I will remove it. Carroll
On the off chance that you may be able to help me, would you happen to remember a CP coal train derailment where the mid-train helpers, SD40-2's 5686 and 5558, plus, their robot car, 1014, derailed into a CP rail yard, narrowly missing a steel coaling tower? From the damage to 5558 and 1014 and distance from the main track, I assume they derailed at track speed. They received some extensive sideswipes also. The month is right and the year is right and the province appears to be right, also, but, I have nothing concrete to back that up except for info that appears to point that way. Anyway, if you would have any info on this derailment, I would appreciate receiving it.
