A derailment at Bassano - Date? Thomas McPhail.
CP Investigating After Train Carrying Grain Derails
13 July 2022
Bassano Alberta - Wednesday afternoon a CP train derailed in Bassano approximately 140 kilometres
southeast of Calgary.
A CP spokesperson said there were no injuries, and the incident is under investigation.
Bassano resident Thomas McPhail said he's happy the derailment didn't affect any residents or buildings, but said that
cleanup will likely be a major project.
"It's a pretty big mess. If you can imagine grain cars stacked on top of each other and spilled over. There are
quite a few cars involved," McPhail said.
He said there were about a dozen cars tipped over.
