   Typically, it can take about a year and a half or more for an investigation   
   report to be released by the TSB.   
      
   Want proof? Just take a look at the accident reports on their website.   
   Go to http://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/rail/index.asp   
      
   The most recent one available is for an incident that occurred on   
   April 28, 2013. This came out on June 11, 2014. A report for an incident   
   on March 26, 2013 came out on June 17, 2014.   
      
   A higher-profile accident where VIA Rail train derailed and killed the   
   three crew members in the locomotive on February 12, 2012 didn't come out   
   until October 9, 2013 - that is 20 months after the accident!   
      
   I would be willing to bet that few people outside of Canada (even outside   
   of southern Ontario!) even heard of that accident. Lac Megantic became a   
   world-wide news story. With this high level profile, I highly doubt that   
   the report will be sooner than the same 20 months.   
      
   Be patient.
