FIELD, B.C. Families of two of three people killed in a train derailment near the British Columbia-Alberta boundary have filed lawsuits alleging negligence.
The westbound Canadian Pacific train was parked on a grade and had its air brakes on in February 2019, when it started rolling on its own, gaining speeds far above the limit for the mountain pass near Field, B.C.
The Transportation Safety Board has said handbrakes were not applied and the train barrelled along for just over three kilometres before it derailed at a curve ahead of a bridge.

A fourth request has been made to the federal government to get involved in the review of a coal mine proposed for Alberta’s Rocky Mountains.
Landowners, Indigenous people and environmental groups are asking Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson the environmental hearing for Montem Resource’s Tent Mountain project.
They point out the mine would straddle the British Columbia-Alberta boundary.
They say it would also affect areas of federal responsibility and the mine’s planned output would be just shy of a threshold that would trigger a federal review.
