The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says the brakes on a CP Rail locomotive failed due to cold temperatures, leading to a 2019 train derailment that killed three workers.
The train was parked on a grade near Field, BC, when it started rolling.
Investigators found it gained speed before 99 grain cars and two locomotives plummeted off a bridge.
An inbound train engineer had warned the trainmaster of brake system irregularities, but due to inexperience and a lack of training, he did not see that they were problematic.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has released its findings into the February 2019 derailment that killed three Canadian Pacific Railway employees.
TSB chair Kathy Fox says it has made three recommendations.
