Comments | Thamesville ON, April 23, 1999. A Via Rail train ploughed into 4 stationary freight tank cars, near Thamesville ON, killing its 2 engineers. Dozens of passengers were quickly evacuated from the train, which was carrying 5 crew and 180 passengers. The cause of the crash was a rail switch left in the wrong position which forced the Toronto-bound train to veer off the main track. |
