Here we go again, CN derailments scattered all over the province, listen carefully CN, If the train is too long it will come off the tracks. That means too long for current conditions, I know the US military style of management doesn't understand this, because it is impossible for them to be worng, but in a wintery cold valley, the tracks are tooo slippery for long trains!!! wake up!! In the fraser valley with all its twists and curves, 100 car trains are too long!! They will continue to derail until you put a limit on the number of cars certain trips take.Or you can continue to have bad press, upset customers, and happy truckers who get new routes everytime you %$# up like this.
Get a life, if you can't roll with the punches, you get knocked out.
Here we go again....
but I guess nothing will be done until , heaven forbid, someone is actually killed....I know of no other transporation company that could have as many INCIDENTS as CN has and would still be in business. And it doesn't matter if it is track, track bed, wheels, speed or what ever other excuse they try to use... it just isn't right what is happening...or should I say not happening.
Let me guess... there is no environmental impact... again

And these people want to use rail to transport oil..
Wow, look at all the train experts here.
Your welcome Ruez..if we need an expert on being a lousy neighbour we will look you up
I agree Ruez, it's way to easy to criticize and judge online, with probably little or no knowledge.
Well, it is difficult to not be critical of CN and it's accident record.

There's no question in my mind that the employees have nothing to do with this record. This is due to corporate policies coming down from on high.
Pval, thats a fairly odd comment. You bringing something over from the Citizen? Do you know my nieghbours?

So why did my post get removed as it did not contain any foul language?
Your post wasn’t removed; you just looked at the wrong CN story.
