Canadian Railroads > "On the rocks"Date: 02/17/21 16:21 "On the rocks" Author: hoggerdoug February 17, 2007 we pranged a rock few miles north of Williams Lake BC on the former BC Rail. The rock was much larger before impact and at the time was a bit of a "pucker factor". Fortunately we did not derail although I did for the first time in my railway carer put the units into throttle "emergency shutdown" after the emergency brake application, figuring on the worst. As some would say "just another day on the railway".
