As a retired CN employee who was an in-house Employee & Family Assistance Program EAP counselor for three years, I got to speak to many CN employees who had been involved in accidents – both fatal and those causing injuries – and know the need to support railroad safety. My grandfather was an engineer and now I have two sons working as engineers (drivers) and conductors on the Atlantic subdivisions, who have had the misfortune of being involved in non-fatal pedestrian accidents and have seen the results these accidents have had on them as employees. I spoke at work (still going strong outside the railway) to all my fellow employees here in Moncton about the various pedestrian accidents that have happened over the past few months and the need to remember Safety First Must must be maintained at all times !
