"Bradford Police Constable Henry Bell, and sewage treatment plant employees Sandy Pearson and Lloyd Seed received marble desk sets from CNR Toronto Area Manager Bob Doty last week. The men were presented with gifts for their attempts to stop a CNR freight train before it was derailed during a freak storm two months ago. Mr. Doty thanked the men on behalf of the CNR and added that although the train did not stop, it did slow enough to prevent a more serious crash."
