Pickering aftermath
Funny, when we were kids, derailing toy trains used to be fun. When we learn that derailing trains usually involves killing of everyone aboard, it wasn’t so fun anymore.
The most amazing thing about the Canadian rail system, not only because it was constructed by the Chinese (even if that is the only positive thing about it for the 100 years), the are hardly any deaths or injuries resulting from the derailing of a Canadian train!
Take yesterday for exsample, the were five cars derailed on the Lakeshore line near Pickering GO station. There was a colosal traffic jam, but zero injuries, death weren’t even mentioned!
The workers are still at it this morning, when I passed by the station.
Let’s see if I can figure out how to attach the photos and videos from this mobile device…
