Via Rail trains running between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal have been cancelled for the day after a 26-car CN freight train derailed this morning in Brockville, Ont.
The derailment happened at about 4:10 a.m. ET on the tracks near Lyn Road and Highway 401 in Brockville, according to the fire department. That's about 115 kilometres south of Ottawa.
There were no injuries, the fire department said.
The derailed cars include:
- Two loaded automobile carriers.
- Five cars carrying carbon powder.
- 13 unloaded fuel tank cars.
The fuel tank cars, though empty, contain a fuel residue. CN says it has so far been told there are no leaks or exposures.
On its website, Via Rail said there would be "alternate transportation" for train service between Toronto and Ottawa, as well as between Toronto and Montreal.
Customers waiting for the 7:30 a.m. train from the Ottawa train station to Toronto were told there would be a 30-minute delay to board buses.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has deployed a team of investigators to the derailment site.
