Well said. Will/would the TSB have access to these records?
Also nothing is gained by quoting the one deceased crewman as saying things were
'sketchy'. That could apply to any number of things.
One more question, the 'driver' that delivered the fresh crew would he be a CPR
employee or a taxi outfit? The reason I ask this is a friend used to work for a
limo outfit in the Canmore/Calgary area and she told me about ferrying crews on
the CPR. I also saw a crew replaced on the Belleville Sub several years ago at
Prestonville Rd (just west of the western end of Darlington. I'm pretty sure it
was a van with a taxi logo on it. Would these 'outside' employees/contractors
have a CPR radio? The driver in question said he was listening to the radio.

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.
