See for yourself what I am talking about by law they have to post all violations they are there for the reading. I think I will copy and paste to all comments from you idiots from the rails...makes it easier to get the word out to suffering families and those who will be suffering due to the stupidity of the railway brotherhood. Would you get in a cab with a drunk? A bus? Why a train? Not me, not knowing the truth...sick bunch you are.

CANADIAN RAILWAY OFFICE OF ARBITRATION

Heard at Montreal
Concerning
CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY COMPANY
and
BROTHERHOOD OF RAILWAY, AIRLINE AND STEAMSHIP CLERKS,
FREIGHT HANDLERS, EXPRESS AND STATION EMPLOYEES
DISPUTE:
Dismissal of Operator J. A. Grewar of Kitchener, Ontario, effective January 31, 1975, for violation of General Rule G of the Uniform Code of Operating Rules.
JOINT STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On January 31, 1975, Operator J. A. Grewar was assigned as operator at Kitchener, Ontario, on the 2245 hours shift.
While still on duty, he was seen by Company officers consuming beer in the Beverage Room of the Station Hotel in Kitchener.
After a formal investigation the employee was discharged for violation of Rule G.
The Brotherhood has appealed the Company’s decision on the basis that, in their opinion, the discipline assessed was too severe and requested reinstatement of the employee in his former position with full compensation for time out of service commencing February 1, 1975.
The Company declined the request.

very tragic but preventable, I lived near the tracks as a kid and always CN would come and talk about not playing on the tracks, tracks are for trains and you should not be there. Do not say oh shoot it will take me 5 minutes or 20 minutes or whatever minutes more if do not take the short cut across the tracks.,Think of a train with all that mass hitting you at 140 km an hour, think of your family, going to the morque to identify what is left of you, think of the train operator that has to leave his or her job for 6 months or more because of the trauma of seeing you smashed to pieces, not pretty, is it now is thatshort cut worth it
Sadly people still think they will never get hit , they will always see the train , always always,
but remember there is no coming back once you have been hit.

The girl may not have seen the train, but the crew of the train would have seen her and of course not been able to do anything about it.How do you get that out of your head and then go home to your family?

My thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of this young girl. Peace be with them.

It's amazing how a train hits on stupid teen, and it makes the news when several more people die from being hit by cars on a regular basis and no a word of it in the news... Trains and planes still remain a much safer from of transportation that cars at the end of the day.

I feel for the poor girls family, but in reality, there is nobody to blame here on than herself. Her stupidity causes an entire family and small community grief.

It's not like the train is going to swerve out of the way. Darwin award. This is just sad and utterly unnecessary.

No, she was killed by her own stupidity. Might as well just walk down subway tracks or any major highway. What could go wrong?

I feel horrible for this girl's family and friends. BUT WHY.....Please tell me WHY do people walk on the tracks?
