Teamsters Canada, the union representing Canadian National Railway (CN) engineers and conductors, wants North America’s largest railroader to stop running freight trains through wild fires. The Laval-based union was responding to a dramatic video, taken from the cab of CN train near Armstrong, in northwestern Ontario, showing the train surrounded by flames from a series of rapidly spreading fires in the region. …The train appeared to be parked on a siding while another freight train was moving on the CN line in the opposite direction through the intense fire scene. …“The union is calling on CN to stop running trains through active wildfire zones and to put the safety of workers and communities first,” Teamster Canada said in a July 15 news release. …Gauthier added CN needs to improve their monitoring procedures in determining whether it’s safe to send trains though active fire zones.
