  • On 8 February 1986, twenty-three people were killed in a collision between a Canadian National Railway freight train and a Via Rail passenger train called the Super Continental, including the engine crews of both trains. It was the deadliest rail disaster in Canada since the Dugald accident of 1947, which had thirty-one fatalities, and was not surpassed until the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster in 2013, which resulted in 47 deaths.
    After 56 days of testimony at a public inquiry, a commission concluded that the collision was caused by the freight head end crew failing to stop their train because of incapacitation or other unknown factors, while the conductor in the caboose failed to use the emergency brake to stop the train. The report also highlighted serious flaws in the culture and safety practices at Canadian National Railway.
    the c crew was
    "asleep." The judge on the case points out the engineer Jack Hudson was very "sick" with risks of heart attack, stroke, and "pancreatic" attack a month before the accident.
    Although aware of this medical records the engineer was not laid off.
    The judge also claimed "suicide" but it was also dismissed.
    Yet the events unfolded once 413 went through the switch at Hargwen.
