TRAIL, B.C. (CP) – A railway engineer is missing after a CP Rail freight train derailed and crashed near the Teck Cominco lead-zinc smelter at Trail, B.C.
Two other crew members suffered minor injuries after jumping off the apparent runaway train Monday afternoon as it came down a hill into the West Kootenay city.
CP Rail spokesman Mark Seland says two locomotives left the tracks after going over a trestle bridge that crosses a highway while seven fertilizer cars also derailed before reaching the span.
He says the search continues for the missing crew member and investigators will also be interviewing witnesses to try to determine what happened.
The Transportation Safety Board has also been called in to join RCMP, local emergency response officials and CP officials in probing the accident.
A Teck Cominco spokeswoman says the spilled fertilizer does not pose a threat to the environment or community.
