Head on Collision

S18 E21: Two trains are on a collision course. One is the popular Super Continental, carrying 115 passengers on a tour through Canada's Rocky Mountains. The other is a mile-long freight train, carrying 12,000 tons of cargo. The two will ram into each other at a combined speed of 124 miles per hour, killing 23 people and injuring 71. Freight and passenger trains routinely use the same tracks without incident. What was different this time? An 11-month investigation will answer that question and reveal shocking discoveries about Canada’s railroad industry.
