C'mon, Rob. Engineers are engineers. You might be able to make a case for better track in Canada but that doesn't really have a bearing on Lac Megantic or the one in the Maritimes (the exact location for which escapes me).

[LATE EDIT] Actually, I remember now that Lac Megantic resulted from a brake failure so I doubt that the engineer or the track can be blamed for this one.
