The way the railway industry does business in Canada will be transformed by the Transportation Safety Board's investigation into the deadly train derailment that demolished the heart of the Quebec town of Lac-Megantic, TSB investigator Glen Pilonsaid on Friday.
In the wake of the crash, the main areas the TSB, an arm's-length federal government agency, is looking at are train braking systems, the durability of tanker cars and crew-size requirements, Pilon said. Policy recommendations will result, he added.
“I am confident that this will be an investigation that changes the industry,” he told Reuters by telephone.
