Field British Columbia - The main power feed to Field is up and running again after residents were on backup juice for nearly four days due to a train derailment last week west of the small community.
 
BC Hydro confirmed repairs to the main supply were completed Tuesday, 3 May 2022, for its 174 customers in the area approximately 25 kilometres west of Lake Louise.
 
"I'm pleased to let you know that we have completed the repairs to our infrastructure this afternoon and your regular power supply has been restored," said Mary Anne Coules, BC Hydro's community relations manager, in an email to Field residents.
 
Tuesday was the earliest the hydro company could access the site for repairs following a train jumping tracks and taking out a feed to the community approximately 10 kilometres west on Friday (29 Apr 2022).
 
No injuries and no spills were reported by Canadian Pacific (CP) Railway after a freight train derailed four cars in Yoho National Park.
 
The cause is under investigation.
 
The rail line has since reopened.
 
"CP reopened the rail line this morning after all repairs and safety inspections were completed," wrote CP spokesperson, Salem Woodrow, in an email.
