Why shipping by train makes sense
Safe Handling at The Essex
Terminal Railway Company
Every day, Canada’s railways operate 1,100 trains across this country, reliably, cost effectively, and most importantly, safely. Whether they’re transporting people or goods, our railways make safety their priority. And it shows. Their safety record has steadily improved over the past decade―thanks to stringent rules and regulations, and significant investments made by the industry.
Canada has a strong regulatory system overseeing rail transportation. Railways have to comply with dozens of regulations and hundreds of safety rules on everything from train securement to speed limits and track and equipment inspection and maintenance.
