QUESNEL — Canadian National is investigating the cause of a 10-car train derailment in a Quesnel works yard Tuesday evening.
CN spokeswoman Kelli Svendsen said the lumber cars were empty when they derailed during a routine switching operation at about 6:15 p.m. There were no injuries or dangerous goods involved.
The derailment occurred two weeks after a fiery crash between two CN trains in Prince George Aug. 4.
