A CNR freight train ran through a stop signal and collided head-on with a Via Rail passenger train.
The crash just east of Hinton killed 23 passengers and crew, and injured another 95 people.
It was the worst rail disaster in Alberta history and one of the worst in Canada .
The town is marking the 25th anniversary of the tragic date with an exhibit ending on Sunday .
