Comments on: Bit of a mess here. I am on the Maple Av overpass looking east, and the crossing behind all this clutter at Nelles Rd. On June 29th 1978 westbound #387, with 78 cars, jumped the tracks. A total of 29 cars derailed. The cleanup is progressing swiftly to get the line reopened. I do not recall the cause of the derailment.

In 1978, it was still called Dominion Day!

That’ll buff right out !! Sure seems a lot of cars piled up in a small area.
