The number of Canadian railway accidents increased by seven per cent last year to 11-hundred-and-70.
But there were fewer fatalities at 57. That's compared to 76 a year earlier.
The Transportation Safety Board says the number of serious injuries rose from 65 to 91. Most of these accidents happened at crossings.
Accidents involving dangerous goods increased nine per cent to 125, with six resulting in the release of dangerous materials.
