Every incident is a bit different. For this one, we needed an understanding of what really caused it and the type of situation we were working in. When our crew arrives at a derailment situation or any other situation that may impact our network and the fluidity of our network, the first thing is deciding how can we handle that in a safe manner.
In this case, because of the situation, the tree that hit the Via train was deemed not safe. Therefore, in collaboration and discussion with the RTC, which is our regional rail traffic control, it was decided to look at other means to rescue the people and to act differently in this situation. We wanted to protect the safety of our employees and of all of the passengers who were on the Via train.
