The train that derailed was the one that was supposed to take me from Cobourg to Ottawa this evening. We're running a couple hours late as they had to find a replacement, but not biggie. Only thing is that all night I'm going to be going over de-railment scenarios in my head and what I will do if one happens.
In the grand scheme of things, I think passenger rail transport is very safe. It is very rare that I hear of such a passenger rail tragedy in Canada. I certainly hear of a lot more accidents related to buses, and of course people driving their own personal vehicles from place to place.
