Crosspost - Flin Flon Derailment on the Hudson Bay Railway - April 2000

Image
I posted on my other blog about a derailment that happened while I was working in Flin Flon.  I was fortunate to be there during the clean up and got quite a few photos of the action.  Lots of modelling potential.  The post is here:  https://ageologistchasingtrains.blogspot.com/2023/05/flin-flon-derailment-on-hudson-bay.html When the long awaited rebuilt M420 arrives from Rapido Trains I will be custom painting HBR 3548, the lone M420 painted into the Hudson Bay Railway scheme.  

M420 3548 at Channing MB April 2000

In April 2000 the HBR had a derailment between Flin Flon and Channing that required The Pas Auxilliary to be dispatched to clean up the derailment.  The auxilliary worked out of Channing which was south of the derailment.
