TSB Summary: On September 3rd, 2016, at about 0925 MDT, Canadian Pacific Railway train 303-646, proceeding westward at approximately 22 mph at Mile 171.7 of the Brooks Subdivision, collided with the tail end of train 113-31, which was stopped on track P1, near Alyth Yard in Calgary, Alberta. Two locomotives on the head end of train 303-646 derailed, CP 9765, 9839, as did 2 covered hopper cars behind the locomotives. The last car on train 113-31, a 3-platform container car, also derailed. There were no injuries. No dangerous goods were released. Train 303 was told by the TTM to enter P1 track behind train 113 after they crew changed. The crew on train 303 were under the assumption that 113 had cleared based a clear signal at Ogden, and on conversations in the depots about 113. Train 113's departure was delayed for an outbound business train which 303 didn't know about. Link to full report: http://www.bst-tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/rail/2016/r16c0065/r16c0065.html
