Hey there, time traveller!

At approximately 6 a.m. this morning, four intermodal car bodies derailed during a routine yard movement at Symington Yards in Southeast Winnipeg.
According to CN spokeswoman Kate Fenske, the shipping containers that the car bodies were carrying contained no dangerous goods and no one was injured as a result of the incident.
Train traffic was not impacted and the cause of the accident is under investigation
Built in 1962, Symington Yards is an intermodal terminal located just off of Lagimodiere Boulevard near Fermor Avenue.
The last significant derailment at the rail yards was in 2011 when 10 cars went off the rails during normal yard operations.
No one was injured in that incident but one of the toppled cars did leak some gasoline.
