Windsor & Hantsport WHRC derailment -1

An eastbound freight from Windsor to Windsor Jct. derailed when it rode up on ice. The lead unit, 4011, sits slightly askew, as the track is straight.

This line sees little use, and has a 10 mph slow order. Previous to 1990, it hosted a daily Halifax-Yarmouth Via Rail RDC, which topped out at 50 mph. It's hard to imagine now.
