Tories criticized for derailment followup

-

Transport Canada is getting a low grade from safety regulators about addressing recommenda­tions from an Ontario passenger train derailment that left three dead. The Transporta­tion Safety Board is accusing the government of a lack of firm action in addressing rail safety issues arising from the February 2012 train derailment in Burlington. Three locomotive engineers died and dozens of passengers were injured when the train went off the tracks. The TSB said on Friday that Transport Canada is only making video cameras voluntary and has only promised to study installing fail-safe mechanisms.
