There is also this development from the TSB of Canada in the wake of the crash: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/07/19/lac-megantic-railway-safety_n_3623687.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/07/19/lac-megantic-railway-safety_n_3623687.html</a>   Quote from the link:   In its other letter, the safety board urged a revision of the Canadian Rail Operating Rule No. 112 governing the securement of parked trains. It said Rule 112 is not specific enough because it does not spell out how many handbrakes to apply for various weights and types of cargo. It also says that the standard, so-called "push-pull test" does not always accurately show whether the brakes have been adequately applied.   From an earlier report, they said this about Rule 112:   But in a 2011 report into a runaway train incident near Sept-Îles, the TSB noted that “it is impossible to verify hand-brake effectiveness by pulling or pushing cars on high grades (so) locomotive engineers cannot accurately know that management’s expectations have been met every time cars are secured.”
