    Birdtail River / Birtle Train Crash of 1968 
    5/5/2018 at 1:48 AM
    For my next Winnipeg Free Press column I am writing about the 50th anniversary of this crash.  
     
    I am wondering if there is anyone out there who may have been part of the rescue or a family member of one of the three men who were killed.  
     
    If so, please let me know. I am at cassidy-at-mts.net  
     
    Thanks

    HI , I am from this area but was not living there at the time of this derailment  
    he CN line actually ran through a corner of my families farm . If you contacted the Miniota Municipal office you could likely find out who is on the museum board and possibly get a yearbook or more info on this topic
