Rail system getting safer, companies say after Via accident
Under federal rules, Canadian National Railway holds the responsibility for inspecting the tracks where the Via train derailed, following standards established by Transport Canada.
The Railway Association of Canada, whose members include Via and freight carriers CN and Canadian Pacific Railway, said the performance of Canadian companies has been steadily improving, noting the rail industry invested $1.7-billion in 2010 alone on infrastructure maintenance and development.
The safety management system, in force for more than a decade, is designed to promote scrutiny by allowing railway employees to closely monitor day-to-day operations, after a regimen of track inspections required by Ottawa.
“Over time, the system is producing the results that everyone wants – the industry, the public, the government,” CN spokesman Jim Feeny said Monday. “The rail system is getting safer. There are ups and downs, there are variations from year to year, but the trend is going in the right direction. That’s very hard to say at a time like this, when we have a tragic accident.”
