SAINT JOHN, N.B. — The New Brunswick Southern Railway Co. has been fined $10,000 and must pay another $40,000 for the implementation of safety research programs after pleading guilty to a pair of charges under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act. The Public Prosecution Service of Canada says the company was sentenced Thursday in Saint John, N.B., provincial court. It also failed to adequately train its employees in the transportation of dangerous goods. They were not related to the Lac-Megantic disaster itself but came from other incidents in the Saint John area.
