## Resource

A GO train with over 400 passengers narrowly avoided a catastrophic collision near Burlington after missing a stop signal—blameable on distractions and human error. The Transportation Safety Board’s new report calls for mandatory automatic braking systems, a safety feature already standard in the U.S. since 2020, to prevent disasters when crews falter. With eight similar signal-ignoring incidents since 2023, this near-miss underscores the urgent need for fail-safe tech to protect lives when human attention slips.
