Canadian Pacific officials are urging the Canadian government to act on legislation that would implement on-board locomotive video and voice recorders (LVVR).
The Class I has long been a supporter of the need to implement the recording devices in Canada. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB), which earlier this week released the proceedings from its Safety Summit held this spring, has recommended that railroads install the devices to improve safety. The federal government has not passed legislation to require them, however.
