It's been many years, track miles and one harrowing experience that have brought Gord Rhodes to Ottawa. The CN engineer came to the nation's capital earlier this week to tell his story of peril and survival to 12 federal politicians. Transport Committee members want to hear what Rhodes knows about the CN train that derailed in Lillooet, British Columbia, last June, killing his co-workers -- Tom Dodd and Don Faulkner. "We're going to be digging in to try and find out what went wrong," Bell tells W5. A year and a half after the Transport Canada inspections, the audit report has been made public. The recently released report reveals some shocking information about CN's safety record:

54% of locomotives had safety defects
37% of locomotives had Labour Code violations
50% of train brake tests had safety problems
26% of CN Rail Crossings had inadequate sightlines
