The train en route to Thunder Bay derailed in an area of saturated peat, a Transportation Safety Board of Canada report on the 2020 incident has concluded.
IGNACE, ON — Unstable ground beneath the tracks led to a major derailment on the CPR line near Ignace in May 2020.
Grain was spilled from several of the cars, but there were no dangerous goods involved, and no one was injured. Their report states that the operation of loaded high-capacity rail cars in the train accelerated the deterioration of "the inherently unstable track subgrade."
