Home » Safety training of Canadian rail workers needs to improve, says union
The United Steelworkers (USW) welcomed the Transportation Safety Board of Canada's report on a 2015 CN Rail train derailment near Gogama, Ont., but also called for additional rail safety measures.
The Transportation Safety Board in February released a 100-page report on its investigation into the Feb. 14, 2015, derailment of a CN Rail freight train near the northern Ontario community of Gogama. A total of 29 oil tanker cars derailed, an estimated 1.7 million litres of crude oil were released into the environment and resulting fires burned for five days.
