The regional transit agency Metrolinx held it's annual safety exercise at the Old Mimico South rail yard this morning. In this particular scenario, a pick-up truck failed to stop at a railway crossing, smashing into a GO train with 150 passengers on board. It comes as Metrolinx prepares for national rail safety week, which begins on Monday. According to a news release from Metrolinx, there are currently 185 public crossings and 51 private crossings that intersect GO train lines. There have been 21 incidents — four deaths and three serious injuries — at all rail crossings province-wide this year.
