According to the track chart, the last signal 91 would've passed (albeit suspended) is at CP SE DIXIANA at M.P. 366.5. The north switch of the Silica Spur that the freight train shoved into is at M.P. 366.9 and the main track switch at the Auto Dock where it had been previously switching is at M.P. 367.0. Both of those are handthrown, so no governing signals.
