Canadian investigators say a VIA Rail passenger train #went off the tracks on July 19 after colliding with a truck sitting on the rails near East Saint John. The crash twisted the track segments but spared passengers harm. In Pakistan, a wheat cargo train derailed the next day near Tando Adam. Tracks were shut down close to the station, halting service on the Kotri-Mirpur Khas line until crews cleared wreckage. Norfolk Southern's stock gained slightly the same day #despite cleanup costs. U.S. freight volumes jumped 4% in the latest quarter.
