“There have been no injuries and the rail cars were empty at the time. We are in the process of conducting a full investigation, and will share further details as they become available.”
A TransLink spokesperson said the incident did not impact the West Coast Express given the incident took place on the spur line, not the main line.
The train was operated by Cascadia Freight.
