Default GM CP Rail Oshawa - 10-24-2009 , 11:04 AM






Anyone know of what happened with 300 vehicles in GM Oshawa CP Rail
yards a few months ago? Some rail cars were not braked and rolled off
the end of the track trashing 100's of new trucks? Rumour or fact?

Trains in full motion are not going to stop for a 1 ton block at the end
of the rail.

You didn't do to well in science in school did you? Kinetics, look it up.
