Deputy Chief Selby Brown says the workers were trapped in the train for hours as first responders tried to free them. THOMPSON, MAN.—Fire officials say two workers were extricated from a train that derailed south of Thompson, Man., on Saturday evening. He says one of the people sustained serious injuries in the incident, after the train went off the tracks on a washed-out trestle bridge in a swampy area at about 6:30 p.m. It wasn’t until 1:30 a.m. that both workers were freed. Brown says the train was carrying a mix of butane and petroleum gas, and no leaks were reported.
