      background--
      Spanish River derailment (Jan. 21, 1910): The combination of excessive speed and a faulty rail caused the CPR passenger train No. 7 to jump the tracks as it approached the railway crossing at the Spanish River west of Sudbury. Both the first-class coach and dining car plunged into the icy river while others careened down the embankment. The derailment killed 43.
