Canadian Pacific derailment at Glenogle, BC

Engines 5797, 5770, and 5513 lead an eastbound train at Glenogle on June 28, 1979. The train has stopped because three cars in the middle of the train have derailed.

For the second picture, I have crossed the river and driven back to a nice overlook near the rear of the train. I wouldn't want to be the brakeman on this train that has to walk the train and lug the rerailer up to where the cars left the tracks. As you can see from the pictures there is no easy access to the tracks.
