The safety board is already investigating a runaway railcar full of asphalt that rolled about four kilometres through Regina on March 1 from the Co-op refinery complex.
That railcar, which was being handled by staff from Cando Rail, crossed a number of streets before coming to rest near a Regina neighbourhood.
