A GO train nearly derailed in Oakville on Jan. 5, 2026, after speeding through a stop signal at 112 km/h, prompting operator dismissals and safety concerns.
A GO train near Oakville, Ontario, narrowly avoided a derailment on January 5, 2026, after passing a stop signal at 112 km/h—over four times the safe speed—despite braking, according to a confidential Metrolinx report.
The incident, involving 120 passengers, caused a 60-minute delay but no injuries, with experts calling it one of the most serious signal violations in the rail industry.
Both Alstom train operators were dismissed, and while Metrolinx and Alstom launched internal investigations, no public report has been released.
The Transportation Safety Board confirmed it is not investigating, and the event follows another derailment near Union Station in February, raising concerns about safety, transparency, and reliability in Ontario’s commuter rail system.
