Garneau says he’ll act fast to figure out what caused Toronto train derailment
SUDBURY, Ont. — Transport Minister Marc Garneau says he intends to act swiftly if it’s determined safety lapses caused a Toronto train derailment over the weekend.
Part of a Canadian Pacific freight train derailed in the city’s mid-town early Sunday, but police and railway officials said the incident posed no threat to public safety.
CP Rail said there was a small diesel leak after a freight train with two locomotives struck another CP freight train. The railway said the leak was quickly contained and there is no environmental risk from the incident.
A CP Rail spokesman also said there were no dangerous goods on board the train that derailed.
