The occurrence
On 29 November 2025, a Canadian Pacific Railway Company mixed freight train, destined for the United States, was proceeding west on the Cranbrook Subdivision, about 10 miles east of Cranbrook, British Columbia. The train was designated as a higher risk key train as it was carrying more than 35 loaded tank cars of liquified petroleum gas (LPG) along with multiple other dangerous goods.
