Shownotes Transcript

1970 - Smyrna Mills, Maine.

In the early morning hours of July 10th, 1970, a freight train struck and killed three Canadian boys on the Bangor and Aroostook Railway Line in the wilderness of Smyrna Mils, Maine. Within hours, the Sheriff determined the incident was a tragic accident—that they were sleeping on the train tracks, for reasons that can't be explained—and completely dismissed the possibility of foul play.

But not everything seems to add up, and 50 years after the mysterious incident, the family, friends, and community of Sydney, Cape Breton in Nova Scotia are asking the questions their community didn't ask in 1970, and reviving this tragic story that's seemingly been lost with time.

This is the story of the Cape Breton Three—Kenny Novak, Terry Burt, and David Burrows.
