New rule implemented 14 months after fatal crash,,, rule 66.

“”” Furthermore, on 28 April 2020, Transport Canada approved the railway industry’s proposed new Rule 66

of the Canadian Rail Operating Rules which outlined the minimum hand brake application requirements for

securing attended trains on heavy or mountain grades.

In an effort to monitor the implementation of and compliance with Rule 66 by railway companies, Transport

Canada also issued a Ministerial Order (MO 20-08) on 27 April 2020 that requires railway companies to report

all occurrences of emergency stops on heavy or mountain grade. The reporting began on 1 July 2020 and

will last for 12 months until 1 July 2021.””




There is no mention in new rule 66 of securing trains on grades with brake retainers .
