A total of twelve people were killed during the wreck on one single car. The wreck occurred on the Canadian Pacific Railways line, the two trains that collided were the Imperial, and the Harvester, a westbound train originating from Toronto, Ontario. The brake failure occurred on the Imperial, as the Harvester was attempting to take the siding of the clear track to allow the Imperial right of way.
