A serious derailment on September 3, 2006 resulted in the death of one section worker. A work train, Engine 114 pulling eight gravel cars, derailed approximately south of Bennett, injuring all four train crew, two Canadian and two American; one died at the scene and the others had to be airlifted to a hospital. Passenger operations on the blocked section had ended for the season just before the accident. In February 2007, Engine 114 was taken for repair to the Coast Engine and Equipment Company (CEECO) in Tacoma, Washington.
