Fuji TV reports a CN train car derailed yesterday in the south-west region of Canada, trapping two employees inside. It may have been caused by a landslide.
I think that’s what the headline said, anyway. It’s funny that I heard about that nowhere in the Canadian media. I didn’t notice that on CBC or on Google News. Why am I informed by a Japanese TV station about news from my own country? Also, I found funny the way Canada seems to be smaller to the Japanese. The “south-west region” could be anywhere from BC to Alberta, and maybe Saskatchewan. But, I guess mentioning the exact location would confuse them more.
Edit: I found an article about the derailment at Calgary Sun’s Web site. It happened at the north-east of BC, in Lytton. I guess the entire province is technically the most “south-west” of Canada, so I guess that’s why the Japanese call it the “south-west” region.
