Today’s Weather Trivia:
6 December 1858: A work train with a snowplough left Sherbrooke, QC, ahead of a passenger train to clear snow and freezing rain. Halfway across the Magog Bridge, the train engineer heard the timber cracking. On reaching the end, he leaped from the train. A fellow trainman died beneath the caboose wheels. Officials said that if the snowplough train had not gone first, the passenger train might have fallen through, causing a score of deaths. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
