Fatal derailment west of Toronto

    Sad news out of the local area tonight - a VIA Rail Canada F40PH derailed at Burlington coming from Niagara Falls, ON with five LRC trailers. The loco and one trailer ended up on their side, the two locomotive engineers and a trainee in the lead cab were killed. The train was not long out of a stop at Aldershot so thankfully the train had not reached full line speed. At the moment it is unclear why the loco derailed. It had received a major rebuild two years ago.
