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 cargo train derailed the next day near Tando Adam. Tracks #stayed blocked close to the station, cutting service on the Kotri-Mirpur Khas line until crews cleared wreckage. Norfolk Southern's stock #rose a bit the same day even with cleanup costs. U.S. freight volumes jumped 4% in the latest quarter.
