CALGARY — A veteran Canadian Pacific Railway engineer says railroaders are supporting each other after a derailment in the Rocky Mountains this week claimed three of their own. “All the people I work with are incredible professionals and we take care of each other and watch each other,” Carl Schnurr of Calgary said Wednesday. “Because we try and take care of each other so much, this just hurts even more,” Schnurr said.

I can’t stress that enough,” Schnurr said. “Their lives are changed forever.”
