A Cargojet Boeing 757-200 freighter, registration C-GAJU performing freight flight W8-571 from Hamilton,ON to Winnipeg,MB (Canada) with 2 crew, was climbing through 8000 feet out of Hamilton when the left hand engine's (RB211) EGT spiked momentarily to 911 degrees C and the autopilot disconnected. The crew consulted with operations and decided to continue the flight. The aircraft climbed to FL340 and was descending through 10,000 feet towards Winnipeg when the left hand engine became unresponsive and after working the checklists showed spikes of the EGT each time power was applied. The crew shut the engine down, declared PAN PAN and continued for a safe landing in Winnipeg.
The Canadian TSB reported the operator is troubleshooting the left hand engine.
