Teamsters Canada Rail Conference

CP Rail crews are on the scene with heavy equipment near Vemilion Bay as they clear away 17 grain cars and proceed with fixing the track after a derailment Monday.

No injuries have been reported and there's been no risk to the neighbouring community, according to Mike LoVecchio, CP Rail's senior manager for media relations.

The cars left the tracks around 10 a.m. Monday, but there weren't any regulated chemicals involved, LoVecchio noted. The crew of 25 staff cautiously ventured to the site over icy roads Monday and they've cleared the intersection at Waldhoff Road.

"All things considered, the recovery is progressing well," he said, adding they've appreciated the understanding and patience of surrounding residents.
