Gatineau Quebec - The Transportation Safety Board said it was looking into a train derailment in
the B.C. Interior Monday morning that resulted in a small leak of gasoline.
It said the TSB was notified of a derailment involving five tanker cars of gasoline east of Ashcroft and was gathering
information and assessing the incident.
It said investigators were not deployed to the scene.
"There was a small leak (less than 1 litre of gasoline) reported from one of the tank cars," the TSB said in
a statement.
CKPC said five cars loaded with fuel derailed Monday morning while being moved at low speed east of
Ashcroft.
It said no one was injured, and there were no threats to the environment or public safety.
CKPC says the rail line reopened the same day after track repairs and safety inspections, and crews were on site
removing the rail cars.
