On the west side of Grande Prairie, 108th Street carrying Highway 40 crossed Northern Alberta Railways at mileage 50.91 of the Grande Prairie subdivision heading west to Dawson Creek.  From the debris seen there on Monday 1978-09-25 with GP9 202 rather uncomfortably parked and the scattered remains of a loaded woodchip truck which had experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly, it appeared that the Dawson Creek wayfreight train No. 51 on the preceding Friday did not reach its destination.  That crossing was notorious for such collisions.
