Sources have confirmed that Tom Harding, sole engineer of the train that rocked a Quebec town, parked the train in Nantes and went to a hotel in downtown Lac-Mégantic for the night. Soon after that, explosions blazed the center of a Quebec town since the train dashed almost 12 kilometres downhill before derailing, its 72 cars of crude oil laying waste to the picturesque village.
The chair of Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railways, Ed Burkhardt, revealed that the engineer found a Trackmobile, i.e. a vehicle that can pull several cars at a time, and went to the rear of the train. He attached several cars that were all lightweight vehicles for hauling rail cars can pull, and moved them away from the wreckage. Burkhardt explained that he returned again and pulled a total of nine cars from the disaster site, where explosions eventually caused life of confirmed 13 people, while another 50 remain missing. The company has refused to make the engineer’s name public.
Meanwhile, The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has dispatched 14 investigators that are currently inspecting the disaster site, which began late Friday night with a fire in the locomotive. Burkhardt revealed that the train was drawn into Nantes late Friday night. According to his routine, Harding set the main train brake and a series of hand brakes, secondary devices on each car. He shut down four out of five locomotive units and headed for a hotel in Lac-Mégantic.
