Near collision between two trains - GIF

That fills me with confidence, due to travel across Canadistan West to East by train this month...

Well we made it, 2 days on the Rocky Mountaineer, 4 on the 'Canadian'. Interestingly when the national control centre in Edmonton had a problem the WHOLE of Canada's national rail system emergency stopped, we were in the middle of BFK at the time. As for Via Rail's 'Canadian', the trains are showing their age, and being sealed window recirc air only several unwell (covid?)passengers made almost the whole train sick...
