Retelling One of Canada's Worst Train Accidents
December 27, 1942, a Canadian military troop train smashed into the rear of a local Canadian Pacific passenger train killing more than 30 people and injuring 150 more. The crash, considered one of the worst train accidents in Canada's history, is the topic of Jamie Bramburger's latest book, "Sudden Impact: The Almonte Train Wreck of 1942." Jeyan Jeganathan visits Almonte to talk to Bramburger about the factors that led to the crash, and the people affected on that fateful day.
