— Canadian National says work is continuing on cleaning up a pair of train derailments in central Alberta during the windstorms that swept through parts of the Prairies on Tuesday. Less than an hour after that incident, 13 cars of a westbound train derailed on CN’s Fabyan trestle bridge west of Wainwright. CN said a locomotive on the end of the train was still upright on the bridge, although a set of wheels had come off the tracks. As of Wednesday, CN crews were working to remove the cars from the embankment and the locomotive from the bridge, which was also scheduled to be inspected. As work is being carried out, the rail line between Edmonton and Saskatoon will be out of service.
