Sarnia Via Service Resumes After Derailment

Via Rail says normal passenger train service in and out of Sarnia has resumed following Wednesday morning's CN freight train derailment in Strathroy.

Train #87 from Toronto was scheduled to arrive in Sarnia Thursday night, although Via says there may be delays.

The service was cancelled Wednesday after 13 cars of a 128-car freight train left the tracks between Caradoc and Richmond streets around 4:20am.

Some tipped on their sides while others lost wheels.

Two Transportation Safety Board investigators are looking into the cause of the derailment.

No injuries were reported and there was no major leakage of hazardous materials although a small amount of petro alkylate spilled from an overturned car but was contained to the track.
