Police in Repentigny, Que., northeast of Montreal say a train derailed in the city’s Le Gardeur sector on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Sgt. Bruno Marier said calls reporting the incident in the city of about 90,000 people were logged at about 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

“There are no fatalities and no injuries,” Marier said, adding there was no leakage from any of the rail cars either.<\/p>\n

In a post on Facebook, Repentigny Mayor Nicolas Dufour said there is “no information suggesting that the train was carrying hazardous materials.”<\/p>\n

But as a precaution, power was cut in the affected area, with more than 2,600 clients affected in the Lanaudi\u00e8re region, according to Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n

The derailment did cause damage, as some fences were ripped out by the train, Marier said.<\/p>\n

St. Paul St. is closed until further notice, with nearby detours allowing people to cross the tracks, he said.<\/p>\n

Derailment under investigation, CN says<\/p>\n

In a statement to CBC News, CN spokesperson Ashley Michnowski said preliminary information indicates that about 20 railcars derailed and are in various positions.<\/p>\n

She reiterated that no leaks, fires or injuries were reported, but she didn’t specify what materials were being carried by the train.<\/p>\n

CN crews have been deployed to the site, she said, and an investigation is underway.<\/p>\n

Michnowski didn’t say how long it would take to clear the tracks or whether there was any damage to the rails.<\/p>\n

“Further information will be provided as soon as it becomes available,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police in Repentigny, Que., northeast of Montreal say a train derailed in the city’s Le Gardeur sector on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[40127,2290,50,40130,40129,40128],"class_list":["post-117599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-montreal","tag-bruno-marier","tag-cn","tag-montreal","tag-repentigny","tag-train-derailed","tag-train-derailment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
