CN Railway Derailment in St. Catharines: Tracks and Bridge Out

0:00A sea and railway freight train derailed Monday morning in St. Catharines, east of Glendale Avenue near Kielstreet. It was hauling polyethylene, that plastic polymer we use for everyday household stuff. Several cars jumped the tracks, spilling some cargo, but no one got hurt, and officials say there's zero risk to folks nearby. Police had the area blocked off for traffic at first, but they cleared it later that morning. Police's team is digging into what caused the mess, keeping things tight on details for now. The ripple hit shipping hard too, knocking out a railway bridge over the Wellen Canal. It can't live right now, though no boats were lined up to pass Monday. Seaway managers aren't sure when it'll be back online. G.O. transit felt the pain on Lakeshore West lines, halting service to St. Catharines and Niagara Falls until further notice. Riders got rerouted to Route 12 buses from Burlington, Gio, linking up to trains headed east, or looping to Niagara Falls bus terminal. All eyes stay on the crews fixing those tracks in that bridge, aiming to get rails and routes
