Its weird how I came about this news. Sometimes I

watch the CBC 10PM National news on the tube on

Sunday night. Last time I watched was the news of

closing of the Catipillar/GMD plant in Ontario. Last

night I put the CBC on pause for a smoke break to

not miss the "National". First thing is this Via

Passenger train derailment with loss of life.

Damn! Not a pretty picture, or report. Hopefully they'll find the cause... Losing three guys doing their jobs, working on the railroad...

Reminds me of 2LARRCO's incident last year when we lost three as well. One was a trainee freight conductor. The conductor survived. Barely.

And old friend...he's off. Likely never work again.
