A train that derailed in Kingston, Ont. on Friday morning was carrying dangerous chemicals, officials say.
Officials have said the cargo is not leaking into the environment. The train was carrying adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine, compounds used to manufacture nylon. The tracks travel to and from the Invista nylon manufacturing plant. Part of the derailment happened on a bridge over water. Part of the bridge has collapsed; police say they don't know if that precipitated the derailment or was caused by it.
"There are no reported injuries or fires and local crews and first responders are attending to the incident. The train was carrying dangerous goods, there are no reported leaks at this time," CN Rail said in a statement to CTV News Ottawa.
