CN Rail Train Derails In Northern Ontario, Fire At Site<\/a><\/h3>\n

GOGAMA, Ont. – CN Rail says a train carrying crude oil derailed early today in northern Ontario and there is a fire at the site.<\/p>\n

It’s the third CN derailment in northern Ontario is less than a month, and the second in the same area.<\/p>\n

Spokeswoman Emily Hamer says CN crews, including senior officers, are on the way to the scene near Gogama, Ont., about 200 kilometres north of Sudbury.<\/p>\n

\n

“Emergency crews are conducting a full site assessment and activating the emergency response plan with local officials,” Hamer said in an email.<\/p>\n

Provincial police have closed Highway 144 in both directions, and set up a command centre in the area.<\/p>\n

Hamer says the crew on an eastbound freight train reported that cars derailed about 2:45 a.m. and that there are no reports of injuries.<\/p>\n

Photos on social media show a large fireball at the site.<\/p>\n

A CN freight train derailed on Thursday 100 kilometres east of Hornepayne but there was no leakage from the 16 residue tank cars that contained crude oil or gasoline.<\/p>\n

And on Feb. 14, 29 cars of a CN freight train carrying crude oil derailed in a remote, wooded area about 80 kilometres south of Timmins, Ont., with seven catching fire.<\/p>\n

There were no injuries in those two derailments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
