CN DASH 9 44-CW 2607, operating as train #906, had been distributing ballast on the new track forming the double tracking project west of Ashcroft B. C. Apparently too much ballast had been released from one of the cars being pushed and the 2607 was derailed. By the time your intrepid photographer arrived the ballast cars had been removed by the power from a nearby coal train and the workers have reduced the amount of ballast above the rails. The 2607 headed east, away from the camera, 2 minutes after this shot was taken. May 15, 2022
