Track Failures Led to CN Derailment | Montreal News
Description
A CN freight train derailed in Repentigny on July 5th, but thanks to the crew’s quick emergency braking, no injuries or hazardous material spills occurred. The Transportation Safety Board found serious track issues—missing or displaced rail anchors and skewed ties—that likely contributed to the derailment, with visible rail marks indicating prior movement. The investigation is ongoing, but this incident underscores how hidden infrastructure flaws can lead to major safety risks.
