You've obviously got some sort of skin in this game. Its a bad deal. I hate to see corporate cost cutting and negligence put people at risk like this. I railed against it for 40 years in my trade.

“”” The wrongdoing on CP’s part is the supervisor telling originating crew to apply brake retainers on their train stopped on over 2% grade with virtually no air on it. This procedure to hold a train in place has never been in the rules and never will be. Applying handbrakes was the ONLY solution.””” Right!! gg cbc.ca 3 year anniversary of this coverup coming in February. Shifting blame on condition of brake rigging, worn shoes ,,is straw man distraction from the fact that physically applying hand brakes on cars with worn shoes or new shoes results in the same mechanical pressure ,shoes to wheel pressure ,,holding the car ,or cars .. train ,,in place. Of course worn shoes,, brake rigging piston travel, air leakage,,poor maintenance put the train stopped on that 2 % plus grade,, in the first place. The deadly mistake was instructing ,over riding ,,the initial crew to apply “”brake retainers “”that do not work in this situation and we’re not in the rules ,at that time ,and ,,NEVER WILL BE.

Correct gg,,, stinky smell… putrid.. what the hell are the government funded Transportation Safety Board employees getting paid to do?? Nothing?? 3 YEARS YESTERDAY! No final report in 3 YEARS?? Is it the family’s lawsuit?? Covering for inept CP management?? <<<< The 3 families that lost loved ones in this boondoggle,,, presently suing CP will stay the course,, I hope . The wrongdoing on CP’s part is the supervisor telling originating crew to apply brake retainers on their train stopped on over 2% grade with virtually no air on it. This procedure to hold a train in place has never been in the rules and never will be. Applying handbrakes was the ONLY solution. New hand brake rule 66 that came out as a result of this tragedy proves this. Radio conversations that took place at that time will be revelling.>>>
