It happened at the tracks behind the 2400 block of Pembina Highway at around 4:30 p.m. Sunday.  The 16-year-old was taken to hospital in critical condition and later upgraded to stable condition.

Winnipeg police and the C.N. police continue to investigate, but they say the incident appears to be accidental.
