Canadian National Railway Co. cars are still burning and residents remain evacuated today after an derailment Oct. 19 west of Alberta’s capital Edmonton.
CN Rail began a controlled burn of propane last night in the rural hamlet of Gainford, Warren Chandler, a CN Rail spokesman, said in a media briefing today. He declined to provide a timeline for completion and said the company’s main east-west rail corridor remains shut as the company investigates.
