Containers on a west bound CNR train have been blown off their respective cars and over the trestle just west of Wainwright.

Yikes. I was in 238 yesterday, went home when I saw the wind warning. Wind can be a different beast out in the flat country.

I work that line. I'm surprised they didn't stop all traffic with double stack containers earlier; wind detectors are installed at that bridge to prevent this from happening. Another train got blown over near Three hills, as well.
