TORONTO — The country’s transportation watchdog is investigating a collision involving a runaway train at Canadian National Railway Co.’s rail yard north of Toronto. The Transportation Safety Board says a section of rail cars became uncoupled from a locomotive that was backing up at CN’s MacMillan yard and travelled an unspecified distance before colliding with an incoming train on Wednesday. CN said the runaway string contained 91 cars, and the collision happened at low speed. Nine cars derailed and two others on an adjacent track were damaged.
