Canada - The mother of a crew member killed in the February 2019 runaway incident of a Canadian Pacific train near Field, B.C., has filed formal complaints with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police asking them to step into an investigation of the incident, while other relatives have launched a petition and video appeal asking Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to intervene.
 
The CBC reports the calls for action follow a claim from a former CP Police Service officer that he was prevented from looking into some aspects of the wreck during his investigation, calling it "some kind of coverup".
 
The railroad's police chief declined to comment on the allegation but said the officer resigned amidst allegations of misconduct and that the broadcaster would be "misleading to your audience to take this disgruntled employee's comments at face value."
 
Investigations continue into the 4 Feb 2019 derailment, which occurred as a grain train descended Kicking Horse Pass.
 
Initial findings shows the train started to move on its own following a crew change.
