Dorion level crossing accident
The Dorion level crossing accident occurred on October 7, 1966, when a school bus carrying 42 students was struck by a CN Rail freight train travelling at full speed in Dorion, Quebec, Canada (now a part of Vaudreuil-Dorion).
==Summary==
On the evening of October 7, at about 7:35 p.m., approximately 40 students were travelling by school bus to a dance, when the bus reached a level crossing. The gates lowered, preventing the school bus from crossing and allowing an eastbound train to continue its route. After the train had passed, the gates rose, allowing the school bus to cross. As the bus began to drive over the level crossing, a second train heading west, without warning, struck the bus and split it in half, dragging one half with it for over 2000 feet (600 m). The other half of the bus was found in a ditch approximately 300 feet (91 m) from the crossing. Of the 41 people aboard, 19 were killed instantly, including the bus driver. Many of the injured were taken to the Lakeshore General Hospital in Pointe Claire, PQ. One young man subsequently died of his injuries. Funerals for the deceased occurred on October 11, 1966 at the Cité-des-Jeunes high school, where the students had gone to school.
