Fort Frances – A user supplied us with the above photograph of the train derailment near Fort Frances.
Sixty homes in the farming community 30 kilometres west of Fort Frances were evacuated when 14 CN cars derailed on Friday afternoon.
According to the MOECC, the derailment caused 12,000 gallons of petroleum distillates to spill.
Environment Minister Glen Murray said containment booms have been put in place to keep the spill from migrating and the spill is not expected to threaten surface waters, including the Rainy River.
