Federal government slowed the speed limit on trains carrying dangerous goods last week following an oil train derailment
Canada’s decision to slow key trains carrying dangerous good will affect the movement of commodities, but how much remains unknown, say transportation experts.

The government mandated the slowdown because of safety concerns, and will examine whether additional measures are required.
