GO train services remain suspended after CN train derailed in St. Catharines Monday morning

No injuries or fires have been reported after a CN train derailed in St. Catharines Monday morning. A Niagara Regional Police spokesperson tells CHCH News that the derailment happened east of Glendale Avenue near Keele Street. The CN freight train was travelling West on the main train when 14 rail cars, including 4 tank cars carrying dangerous goods derailed. "A non-dangerous good called polyethylene, a product used in the manufacturing of household plastics, spilled from one of the railcars," says Michelle Hannan, a media relations advisor with CN Rail. "There is no danger to the public." Crews have removed the railcars from the Glendale Avenue crossing, allowing vehicles to flow again. However, Lakeshore West GO trains are currently unable to stop at St. Catharines and Niagara Falls GO stations as a result of the derailment. In a statement, Metrolinx says GO train services remain suspended between Confederation and Niagara Falls. Niagara-bound Lakeshore West trains are short-turning at Confederation GO, route 12 buses continue to operate between Niagara Falls and Burlington GO stations as of Tuesday morning. The cause of the derailment is under investigation.
