"June 2016.” Includes bibliographical references. "Rail is traditionally a safe method of transportation, but accidents – particularly those involving dangerous goods – can have serious consequences.

The derailments and toxic spills into Lake Wabumum, Alberta, and the Cheakamus River in British Columbia in 2005 and the derailment and chemical explosion in Mississauga, Ontario in 1979 also illustrate the potential for disaster when dangerous goods travel by rail through environmentally sensitive or densely populated areas.
