The World : Canadian Trains Collide
- Share via
A transcontinental train carrying almost 250 passengers collided head-on with a freight train about five miles west of Quebec City, injuring 42 people in the second such collision in Canada in a week. No one was seriously hurt, and only two of the passengers examined in hospitals remained for observation, a spokesman for the government-owned Via Rail line said. Authorities could not immediately determine why both trains were on the same track. The crash came a week after a Via Rail train slammed head-on into a freight train in western Canada, killing 25 people.
