One worker dead after train derailment

One of the two workers who were extricated from a train that derailed south of Thompson, Man., has died. The Arctic Gateway Group, which recently purchased the Hudson Bay Railway, also says a second employee sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to hospital. The workers were trapped in the train for hours as first responders tried to free them on Saturday evening and into the early hours of Sunday. The train went off the tracks in a swampy area about 6:30 p.m. The company says the train had several dozen rail cars, some of which were carrying liquefied petroleum.
