Nineteen cars of CP freight derail in northern Ont.

Nineteen cars of a CP Rail freight derailed in northern Ontario, northwest of Sudbury, early Saturday morning.

CP Rail spokesman Breanne Feigel said the incident happened about 12:45 a.m. on a CP Rail line in a remote area, about 130 kilometres northwest of Sudbury.

There were no injuries to the crew and no public safety concerns, Feigel said.

The westbound train was carrying a mix of consumer goods, he added.

The cause of the derailment has not been identified.

CP Rail crews were heading to the scene early Saturday afternoon to assess the situation.
