TORONTO — A Canadian National
Railway Company train carrying crude oil derailed near the northern
Ontario community of Gogama, with multiple cars on fire and some leaking
oil into a waterway, the company said on Saturday.
There were no injuries
reported from the derailment, CN's second in the region in just three
days and third in less than a month. It was the latest in a series of
North American derailments involving trains hauling crude oil, raising
concerns about rail safety.
The railway said a bridge over a waterway had been damaged and that five tank cars landed in the water, with some on fire. "CN emergency responders are acquiring booms to contain
crude oil movements in the waterway," CN spokesman Mark Hallman said in
an email, adding that initial indications were that the waterway does
not supply drinking water to Gogama. MORE
