Dangerous goods were on board train cars that derailed in eastern Alberta on Wednesday morning, Canadian National Railway (CN) has confirmed. “Preliminary reports indicate that approximately 20 loaded railcars, including dangerous goods, have derailed in various positions,” CN spokesperson Ashley Michnowski wrote in an email to CTV News Edmonton. “There are no fires and no injuries reported. There are no known impacts to public safety at this time.” Michnowski says none of the dangerous goods spilled from the railcars. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says it has deployed a team of investigators to the scene. Minburn is about 160 kilometres east of Edmonton.
