A CN freight train carrying dangerous goods has derailed and caught fire in northwest New Brunswick, not far from the U.S. border.

Jim Feeny, director of public and government affairs for CN Rail, said the train derailment happened just after 7 p.m. AT about five kilometres outside of Plaster Rock in Wapske, N.B. He said the train was coming from central Canada and was heading to Moncton.

He said the train was carrying dangerous goods.

“The number of derailed cars has not yet been confirmed. We do know that there are dangerous goods cars on the train and that they are in the derailment area. These include cars carrying LPG — which is propane — and crude oil but we cannot confirm if those cars are actually derailed at this point. We know they’re in the immediate area,” said Feeny.

He also confirmed there was a fire at the site, but said it’s unclear what is fuelling the fire.

RCMP Cpl. Marty Van Dijk said emergency crews are working with the train’s conductor to identify the cars and determine whether they contain hazardous materials.

“Our emergency responders are just beginning to arrive, the local fire department is also on site,” he said.

Feeny said it’s too early to determine what caused the derailment.

He said none of the train’s crew was injured. There’s been no word of other injuries at this time.

Van Dijk said a HAZMAT team is en route. He said a two-kilometre radius is being cleared and evacuated around the site. Most of the residents within that radius have been moved out.

There were 122 cars on the train. It’s still not clear how many derailed.
‘I saw a great big cloud of orange smoke’

J.D. Saddler and his girlfriend were at her grandmother’s house, next to the train tracks in Plaster Rock.

“After we left her house, we were driving across the river over to Wapske and that’s where the train derailed. And as we were driving to Wapske, I saw a great big cloud of orange smoke and the flames were really high in the air, the smoke was really high in the air,” he said.

Saddler said they went home. About an hour later, he drove back and the route was blocked off. People were being evacuated from the area.

“I think probably a lot of people are scrambling right now,” he said.
