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