Really not good to hit a loaded logging truck!


Wow!~



Here are some poor scans of some old C-41 color prints that I got from the local Teamsters Union here in Winnipeg.

I’m not sure of the exact date but I’m thinking it was in the late 80’s/early 90’s of a CN train that hit a log truck on the Redditt sub (between Winnipeg MB and Sioux Lookout ON) at Sunstrum, ON (mile 38). Lead unit was the 5146 a GMDL SD40. Seeing the truck on the crossing before hitting it with the train, the engineer hit the deck below the window level and the head end brakeman ducked down behind the wall and door under the middle windows, that leads down to the shitter. Both made it out alive. Section crews had to cut out some of the logs before both the crew members could exit the cab hours later. Anywhere there was glass, the pulp logs loaded cross wise on the truck, penetrated into the cab including through the number boards.
