Workers repair the rail line after a rock slide blocked the road and railroad between Vancouver and the ski resort of Whistler in Porteau Cove, British Columbia July 31, 2008. No injuries were reported in the slide that happened late Tuesday night. Officials say will take at least five days for the tons of debris to be removed from the highway. The route will be the main road leading to events in Whistler during 2010 Olympic Winter Games. REUTERS/Andy Clark (CANADA)
