Slow up, and Let Em Grow up!
In light of the recent pair of derailments in Saskatchewan, Transport Canada (TC) has issued a Ministerial Order (MO) to slow trains carrying more than twenty cars bearing dangerous goods (known as “key trains”) to no more than 25MPH. The Ministerial Order was placed in effect on February 6, 2020 and will stay in effect until at least March 9th, and may continue further while Transport Canada investigates the cause of recent incidents.
