CNR charged in two-death bridge crash a year ago near McBride, B.C. CNEWS
The crash in a remote area of the Cariboo region near the Alberta border last May 14 killed the engineer and conductor, the only people on the 86-car eastbound train. Transport Canada said Tuesday that charges have been laid under the Railway Safety Act and the Canada Labour Code.
The Railway Safety Act charge alleges that Canada's largest railway company did not ensure that work on the line was done in accordance with sound engineering principles.
The Labour Code counts state that CN failed to ensure worker health and safety "by failing to ensure that the bridge structure at Mile 7.9 would support the loading of the train operating over it, the direct result of which was the death of two employees."------------------------------------------- posted 6:31 AM :: reference link ::
