Thanks for your input Charlie,
I had a late friend who trucked from Eastern Canada to Chicago, what you says about trucks fits what he told us back when he was still among us.
As you stated, this accident seems to be made out of many and various causes which, at this moment, can hardly be sorted out. An unfortunate twist of fate that we won't undestand until the inquiry explains what happened when the train was parked at Nantes for crew change.
The locomotive that caught fire was, according to a picture, ex-BN 5017, a GE C30-7 unit.
@Teejay: About an hour ago, the police chief said he wouldn't be surprised if death toll reached a few dozens at this point.
