Several cars of a Canadian National Railway (CN) train, including some loaded with crude oil and propane, derailed and caught fire in New Brunswick on Tuesday night. According to media reports, the derailment occurred at about 7 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time (AST) in Wapske, located just south of the village of Plaster Rock, in Victoria County. There were no injuries. During a press conference Wednesday in Plaster Rock, CN CEO Claude Mongeau said 17 of 122 cars on the train derailed.
