    From the referenced article:   
   [[ Although the incident is STILL BEING INVESTIGATED by the   
   Transportation Safety Board of Canada, it is believed that   
   the train rolled free after  the dual failures of its air   
   brakes and handbrakes. ]]  (emphasis added by me)   
      
   So... just what is the prosecution basing their arguments   
   -on- ???   
      
   There has yet to be published the results of the official   
   investigation, compiled by people who actually have working   
   knowledge of railroad equipment and the competence to   
   evaluate the accumulated data and deduce what actually   
   happened...
