CN Rail says it’s investigating a train derailment in St. Catharines, Ont., but there have been no reports of injuries.
CN says 13 train cars derailed and were “in various positions” at the scene on Monday morning.
Niagara regional police say the derailment occurred east of Glendale Avenue near Keele Street.
CN says in a statement that polyethylene, which is used in the manufacturing of household plastics, spilled from one of the railcars, but there have been no reports of fires and there is no danger to the public.
The company says the cause of the derailment is under investigation and the rail crossings that were initially affected have since been cleared for vehicle traffic.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada also says it is deploying a team of investigators to the scene.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 30, 2026.
