The long-awaited inquest into the death of Kevin Anderson has finally taken place over the span of three weeks, which started on March 2, 2026. Judge Timothy Killen allowed the media to sit in on the inquest, but prohibited the media from recording any testimony or statements. The media was also instructed not to release details of the testimony given until all those called to testify had done so.
Anderson and co-worker, Chris Rushton, were seriously injured and trapped after a freight train was derailed in northern Manitoba, near Ponton, back in September 2018. The men were unable to call for help due to their radios not working. The crash was discovered two hours later by a civilian helicopter that was flying overhead.
