MONTREAL, Dec 9 (Reuters) - The derailment of a Canadian
Pacific Railway Ltd CP.TO train in Edmonton, which caused the
spill of nearly 100,000 litres (26,417 gallons) of styrene into
a ditch, has not impacted the company's operations, a spokesman
for the railway said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, four cars derailed at low speed in Edmonton's
Scotford Yard, CP spokesman Martin Cej said. There were no
injuries or fires or risk of further spilled styrene, a
synthetic chemical used to make plastics and rubber.
The material in the other derailed cars has been transferred
to trucks and moved, while the cleanup was still underway on
Wednesday, Cej said.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has dispatched an
investigator to the scene.
