TSB says derailed train began to move on its ownInvestigators say a Canadian Pacific freight train was parked and began to move on its own before it derailed and killed three crew members on the Alberta-British Columbia boundary. .....a 'loss of control'......

Delays of up to 30 minutes on some GO train lines amid extreme coldDelays of up to 30 minutes have been reported along GO Transit’s Lakeshore East line due to an issue involving a switch that has malfunctioned amid the extreme cold.
