Canadian National logoBRANDON, Manitoba — No injuries resulted when 15 cars of a Canadian National train derailed Monday evening in downtown Brandon, disrupting rush-hour traffic.

CTV News reports the derailment occurred about 5 p.m., blocking 6th Street between McTavish and Van Horne avenues. The railroad said the derailed cars included one carrying fertilizer, three with potash, and 11 empty cars; there were no spills or leaks.

“CN crews and local first responders are attending to the scene,” CN said in a statement. “CN would like to apologize for the inconveniences caused by this incident.”

Brandon, where CN’s Carberry and Cromer subdivisions meet, is 145 miles west of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

  1. Dear Trains Staff,

    Rush-hour? In Brandon – which is a great town – it’s called “rush-minute”.

  2. And naturally, CN said the cause of the derailment is under investigation.
