Toronto
A CANADIAN National Railway Co train carrying crude oil derailed and caught fire in a remote area of northern Ontario, blocking rail traffic between Toronto and Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Canadian National said on its website and in a later statement that the train derailed around 2.45 am on Saturday near Gogama, about 600 kilometres north of Toronto. The train's crew reported a fire and no injuries, spokeswoman Emily Hamer said in an e-mail. The company hasn't yet determined the exact number of cars that derailed or how many are involved in the fire.
