A rock slide north of Clayton on Saturday morning, July 23, caused the derailment of a Canadian Pacific train when the engineer was unable to stop in time before hitting the debris.
The lead locomotive and 12 empty cars left the tracks. There were no injuries, and no liquids or hazardous materials were in the cars that derailed.
CP crews were dispatched to the scene and worked throughout the rest of the day and night to open the tracks. Trains were back in operation by Sunday morning.
