Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Dented but sound: It took three cranes to do it; but a tank car containing hydrofluoric acid; derailed Feb. 28 west of Orillia; was finally righted yesterday. The tank car had tumbled down a ravine and work crews had built huge dikes of limestone and earth around it before the move. The car; being examined by workers of Allied Chemicals; is to be pumped out today and moved away from the site. About 1;200 people; forced to leave the area yesterday for the second time since the derailment; have been allowed back home.
