Spuzzum British Columbia - Mounties are investigating what they describe as an attempt to derail a train in British Columbia's Fraser Canyon.
 
A statement Thursday from the Hope RCMP says someone placed a vice clamp on a section of train track near the historic Alexandra Bridge in Spuzzum.
 
Investigators say the clamp was placed on the rail at approximately 03:18, on 22 Oct 2023.
 
"It is very concerning when someone goes to this extreme to cause a catastrophic event that puts train staff and the local community at risk of harm," Hope RCMP Sgt. Mike Sargent said in the statement.
 
Police are asking anyone who drove through the area between 02:30 and 03:15 on 22 Oct 2023 to contact investigators if they saw anything suspicious or recorded dash camera footage.
