This is a guide for freight railways. It explains:

  • the forms railways must submit to the CTA (Annual Certificate of Compliance for Railway Operations in Canada, Certificate of Insurance; and Detailed Volume Report);
  • the minimum levels of liability insurance that freight railways must have to get and keep their railway licence (certificate of fitness);
  • how the insurance levels are higher for railways that carry dangerous goods (the more the railway carries, the more insurance it must have);
  • how the CTA confirms what insurance level a railway should have and monitors railways to ensure they are maintaining the proper level;
  • railways' reporting responsibilities related to dangerous goods and insurance; and
  • the special requirements for railways involved in accidents involving certain dangerous goods.
