OTTAWA - Following the recent train derailment in Burnaby, Peter Julian, MP (Burnaby-New Westminster) has written a letter to Prime Minister Harper, urging him to take swift action to prevent future accidents and disasters.
On January 11th, 2014, seven rail cars carrying coal on a Canadian Pacific Railway train operated by a CN Rail crew derailed in Burnaby. As a result, three cars spilled coal into the protected waterway of Silver Creek, contaminating its waters.
