A train derailment near Field, B.C., has knocked out power to the village. BC Hydro's website states that following the power outage caused by the incident, around 150 people are being supplied power from an ESF battery. It is very likely that the battery will run out of power before we are able to restore power to our customers," BC Hydro said in a statement posted online. "We ask that while your power is coming from the battery, please conserve electricity if possible to extend the supply. The derailment comes nearly two years after a fatal runaway CP train crash east of the village.
