Trains restarted day after CN derailment in Paris, Ont.: Via Rail
Via Rail says in a statement that it received line clearance Saturday following Friday's freight derailment near Brantford, Ont.
About two dozen Canadian National Railway Co. railcars and one locomotive derailed and remained upright Friday.
CN spokesman Tom Bateman says crews with the company safely restored train service Saturday morning at the site of the derailment.
However, he says workers will remain in the area for several days, and delays in train traffic may be necessary to allow crews to continue working safely in the area.
Bateman says there were no injuries, leaks or fires reported, and the cause of the derailment remains under investigation.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada said Friday it was sending a team of investigators to Paris, Ont., to gather evidence and determine what happened.
