Data extracted 18 April 2023 All 5-year averages have been rounded. The totals sometimes do not coincide to the sum of these averages. New TSB regulations came into effect on August 1, 2014, changing some reporting requirements.
* Under new reporting requirements all derailments are reportable. The TSB has reviewed derailments and collisions back to January 1, 2014 and recategorized occurrences with minimal consequences as reportable incidents including: derailments involving 1 to 2 cars, with no equipment or track damage, no injuries, no fires,and no release of dangerous goods; Non-main-track collisions, with no equipment or track damage, no injuries, no fires, no release of dangerous goods, and did not foul the main track. |
