The CP24 news chopper captured the aftermath of a train derailment in St. Catharines, Ont.
A train derailed in St. Catharines, Ont., on Monday morning, according to local police.
Niagara Regional Police say CN Railway is continuing to investigate the derailment, which occurred east of Glendale Avenue near Keele Street.
“Preliminary reports indicate there are a number of derailed rail cars in various positions,” CN Railway said in a statement to CTV News Toronto.
CP24 Chopper footage, taken at around 12:30 p.m., show several cars splayed across the railway tracks in a zig-zag formation with crews on the scene. In an update, CN Railway said 13 railcars were derailed.
The cause of the derailment is unknown at this time. The railway company said there are no reported injuries or fires.
The train was transporting a non-dangerous good called polyethylene, CN Railway confirmed, which is a product used to manufacture household products.
Some of that product spilled from one of the cars, but CN Railway said there is no danger to the public.
“CN would like to apologize for the inconveniences caused by the incident,” the statement reads.
The road was closed but police said the blockage has been removed, and traffic has resumed.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said it is investigating the derailment and will assess what happened.
Please note that CN Railway is continuing to investigate a train derailment east of Glendale Avenue in St. Catharines.
However, the blockage of Glendale Avenue has been removed, and vehicular traffic has resumed.
Please direct further inquiries to CN Police.
