Clean-up continues after CN freight train derails in Ontario

The cleanup of derailed rail cars and repair of damaged rails continued Sunday afternoon after the CN freight train derailment Saturday in south Bowmanville, Ontario.

Works crews continued working in high heat and humidity on July 19 to clear the mess left after several cars of a westbound CN container train derailed just before 2 p.m. July 18 near Port Darlington Road.

Freight and passenger train service was halted, while repairs were carried out.

Clarington Fire Chief Gord Weir said crews have cleared most of the derailed freight cars and containers from the north and south tracks and that the south tracks were open.
