Kris,
Yes, I watched it and there wasn't much there, however two interesting things
came up. First is that the CP Police investigator was not allowed access to
all witnesses or the audio recordings. That makes me wonder if the crew was
told to mot apply handbrakes on the train. Handbrakes should have saved the
day. Secondly, it was indicated that there was alleged to be trouble with the
air brakes on the aging ex Government grain car fleet. Certainly leaking
brakes could have been a cause of this accident.
I am very interested to know exactly what happened that night.

Not very informative if you ask me. Let's wait until the TSB releases their
report.
